Getafe Preview – Can Getafe hold out?
Getafe have played their way into form recently with a five-match undefeated streak of form behind them in the top flight.
It’s been two wins in their last five and those were both recorded on home turf.
It has been a W3 D2 L4 home record from Getafe overall this season.
But all three of those wins have happened inside of their last four.
In the match outright, however, they are 5/1 underdogs for Sunday’s challenge* (odds recorded 1500 GMT Friday, 31st December 2021 at William Hill).
Getafe have suffered just the one defeat in their last eight matches home and away in La Liga.
They have really tightened up defensively with four clean sheets in their last five.
But will they have enough about them to shut down Real Madrid?
A play for the Under 2.5 goals option for football betting is at a quote of even money* (odds recorded 1500 GMT Friday, 31st December 2021 at William Hill).
There is a trend there as six of Getafe’s last eight league games have gone under the mark.
Getafe have faced three of the current top six at home this season and have banked one point from those.
They have scored and conceded at an average of a goal per home game in this campaign.
Two of their last three home fixtures against Real Madrid have ended in a 0-0 draw.
So they have come up with ways recently to stifle this particular opponent.
Getafe however, have failed to beat Real Madrid in the last fifteen attempts, losing 13 of those.
So even though their form has improved recently, the underdog odds are somewhat justifiable in this one.
Real Madrid Preview – Madrid to march on?
A new year but the same old story for Real Madrid? Another win in the bag is coming for them?
They are just marching unopposed towards the league title as it stands with only two points dropped in their last nine league fixtures.
It has been a superb W14 D4 L1 record by Real Madrid in La Liga this season.
Their one loss happened at Espanyol on October 3rd and they have gone undefeated in eleven since (W9 D2).
Real Madrid have averaged 2.3 goals per away game this season.
But they have also been stacking up the clean sheets.
Home and away they have conceded just one goal in their last five league games.
So it is hard to see how Getafe really get at them.
Real Madrid have taken a clean sheet in each of their last three visits to Getafe.
