Real Madrid

Real Madrid come into this match looking to respond after a disappointing league defeat that cost them the chance to stay clear at the top. That setback was unexpected, but their midweek Champions League win over Benfica restored confidence and showed they remain sharp when it matters most.

Madrid’s home form this season has generally been reliable, with strong control of possession and high pressing often pinning opponents back. Even with some rotation likely, their depth in attacking areas should allow them to dictate the rhythm from early on.

Getafe

Getafe also suffered defeat in their previous league outing, but their season overall has been steady, sitting comfortably in mid-table and well clear of relegation concerns. Their defensive organisation remains their main strength, typically operating compactly and trying to frustrate bigger sides before hitting on the break.

However, away matches against top-level opponents often expose their limitations, and sustaining pressure at the Bernabeu is always challenging. Expect Getafe to prioritise a tight first half while relying on counter-attacks and set pieces for their chances.

Betting Verdict

Real Madrid should control the game from the first whistle, especially after their Champions League boost and the need to immediately bounce back in La Liga.

Their pressing, ball circulation, and firepower give them a strong chance of building an early lead against a Getafe side that tends to sit deep and struggle to maintain possession in hostile environments.

With the visitors likely prioritising damage limitation, Madrid look well-placed to take both halves.
