Getafe vs Real Madrid. Shape of the Teams

It might come as a surprise to many, but Las Palmas, who faced Real Madrid only a few days ago, shares a similar league position with Getafe. Contrary to common perceptions that Getafe is a relegation-threatened team, they are actually placed tenth in the league standings, just slightly below Las Palmas. 

Getafe is known for their solid defensive block, a key characteristic of their playing style. However, they have struggled to maintain consistency, particularly in stringing together back-to-back victories. 

Their record shows a pattern of difficulty in securing wins against stronger teams like Las Palmas and Real Madrid, while they tend to perform better against teams of similar standing, such as Almeria and Granada, or those facing challenges, like Sevilla and Villarreal. 

It probably also does help to have the co-leader of the Pichichi in Borja Mayoral (awarded to the player in La Liga with the most goals at the end of the season), fighting against Bellingham with fourteen goals so far this season in La Liga.

His scoring prowess has been a key surprise this season, especially considering their 4-4-2 formation.

As for Real Madrid, the good news comes with the comeback of Jude Bellingham, who missed the previous clash due to suspension. With Atlético de Madrid being the only team to have recently defeated Real Madrid, Getafe faces a daunting task, especially against a rejuvenated Madrid side bolstered by Bellingham’s comeback.

With another crucial Madrid Derby against Atlético in the league just three days following the Getafe match, questions arise about coach Carlo Ancelotti’s potential squad rotation.

While Ancelotti’s past approach suggests he might not heavily rotate his squad, considering the proximity and significance of the derby, strategic rotation could be beneficial to keep key players fresh.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Prediction, Odds

There is next to no doubt that Real Madrid is the clear favourite for this match. Their ability to let individual talent shine often leads to victories, except in certain cases like matches against Atlético de Madrid.

And even though this is an “away” game, the geographical proximity of Getafe, just a short half-hour drive south of Madrid, means that travel fatigue is unlikely to be a factor for Real Madrid compared to their previous match, where they had to fly to the Canary Islands to play Las Palmas. 

However, Getafe poses a threat in the form of Borja Mayoral, the standout star of their season. His performance outshines even that of former promising youngster Enes Ünal and rivals that of Mason Greenwood, who has a more complicated off-pitch story and is on loan from Manchester United, a club that once showed interest in Mayoral.

However, this was never materialized or confirmed by top sources.

With Jude Bellingham back in the lineup, Real Madrid has the advantage of breaking through tight defensive blocks. With Jude Bellingham back in the lineup, Real Madrid has the advantage of breaking through tight defensive blocks, and something similar is likely this Thursday. 

However, we shouldn’t expect a crazy score. Few mid-week fixtures, especially on a Thursday when Spaniards prefer to prepare to drink for the weekend, become exciting. Unfortunately, I have no doubt this game will be any different.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Betting Tip

This should go down as the Pichichi face-off, marking the last time the top contenders for the award will face each other. As of the end of January, they are neck-and-neck, setting up a thrilling and unexpected rivalry that Spain hasn’t seen since the days of Suarez, Messi, and Ronaldo.

I have no doubt that this is to be highly entertaining for many fans, who have thoroughly enjoyed the grandiose Mayoral, always able to sneak in a goal right and left. 

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s defence hasn’t been the most solid, with clean sheets being a rarity. This vulnerability might give Mayoral the opportunity to score against a major rival like Real Madrid, especially with the match being on his home turf.
