Preview: Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26
Los Blancos are currently 2nd in the league table!
Real Madrid welcome Getafe to the Santiago Bernabéu on Monday, March 2, 2026. LaLiga‘s title race is entering a critical phase. Barcelona currently lead Los Blancos by a single point in the standings.
Real Madrid lost a tough match against Osasuna recently. This allowed Barcelona to take the top spot in the table. However, Areola’s side have won five straight home games since then. The hosts have 60 points from 25 league matches. This shows a strong season despite a few recent stumbles.
Getafe face a different kind of pressure. They lost only one of their last five matches. However, that loss happened in their most recent game against Sevilla. Their away record is also a concern. They have won only once in their last six games on the road.
Real Madrid have a dominant history here. They have won 17 straight home matches against Getafe. They scored two or more goals in 15 of those games. Earlier this season at the Coliseum, the teams played a tight match. Kylian Mbappé scored in the 80th minute to secure a 1–0 win. Expect another tough battle in this game. Madrid’s deeper talent should eventually make the difference.

Players to watch out for:
Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)
2025–26 LaLiga Stats: 24 apps | 9 goals | 5 assists | 51 shots | 0.44 goals per 90 mins
Vinicius Junior has 14 goal involvements across 24 LaLiga appearances this season, averaging 0.68 goal contributions per 90 minutes, according to FotMob, which places him firmly among the division’s most dangerous attackers. With Mbappé absent through injury, furthermore, Vinicius steps into the primary threat role at the Bernabéu and, against a Getafe backline already missing suspended captain Djené, his pace and directness from the left flank make him the single most decisive player on the pitch.
Mauro Arambarri (Getafe)
2025–26 LaLiga Stats: 25 apps | 5 goals | 1 assist | 35 shots | 1,950 mins played
Arambarri has played in every league match this season. He has logged 1,950 minutes in central midfield. This shows he is essential to Getafe’s structure. He does more than just help with the attack. Aramabrri’s tough style consistently breaks the rhythm of the other team. Getafe rely on his pressing and his strength in the air. They need him to stop better midfielders at the Bernabéu.
Match Facts:
- Real Madrid have won the last eight consecutive meetings between these two clubs, conceding just one goal across all eight fixtures.
- Previous matches between Real Madrid and Getafe have averaged 3.06 goals per game across 33 recorded meetings, with Madrid winning 28 of those contests.
- Getafe have managed just 20 goals across the entire season, the second-lowest tally in LaLiga, with only bottom-placed Real Oviedo scoring fewer, making their prospects of troubling Madrid’s backline extremely slim.

Injuries and Team News:
Real Madrid go into this fixture carrying a substantial injury burden. Kylian Mbappé misses out with a knee injury. He remains sidelined until mid-March. Jude Bellingham faces a longer absence due to a hamstring problem. The club anticipates his return in late March.
Éder Militão continues recovering from a tendon injury. The medical staff also expects him back around mid-March. Dani Ceballos faces the longest wait of all. His thigh injury keeps him out until early April. Additionally, Asensio sits out with a neck injury, though no firm return date exists. Dean Huijsen remains doubtful with a calf concern.
Getafe arrive equally stretched. Djené serves a suspension. This strips the defence of its most experienced organiser. Meanwhile, Abu Kamara’s broken hand rules him out until mid-March. Abqar misses the trip through a muscle injury with a similar timeline. Mayoral remains doubtful with a knee problem. Davinchi faces an uncertain outlook after tearing his meniscus.

Predicted Starting Lineups:
Real Madrid Predicted Starting Lineup (4-4-2):
Thibaut Courtois; Daniel Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Alvaro Carreras; Federico Valverde, Arda Güler, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga; Gonzalo García, Vinicius Junior
Getafe Predicted Starting Lineup (5-3-2):
David Soria; Domingos Duarte, Diego Rico, Zaid Abner Romero, Kiko, Juan Iglesias; Luis Milla, Sebastian Boselli, Mauro Arambarri; Luis Vázquez, Martin Satriano
Match Prediction:
Real Madrid look set to claim a comfortable home victory, given their dominant head-to-head record, superior squad depth, and Getafe’s persistent inability to score on the road. Even without Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Gonzalo García provide more than enough attacking threat to punish a depleted visitors’ backline.
