Getafe will go in search of their first in La Liga this season when they host Atletico in the fifth round of matches. They go to the game without a point so far, and are placed 19th in the league standings. Meanwhile, Atletico, on 11 points, took momentary leadership of the standings after a draw with Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. Getafe have been poor in attack and defence as they go to this game; they only have one goal in five matches and three of the five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Ahead of this game, they suffered their biggest loss of the season, falling 3-0 to Rayo Vallecano. That was their eighth loss in 10 league matches; they have just one win in that run and have failed to score in eight of 10 league matches. Away from home, Getafe have failed to score in seven of the last 10 league matches, and in 19 meetings with Atletico Madrid, they’ve failed to score a single goal.

The year 2011 was the last time Atletico conceded a goal in matches against Getafe. As they look to extend the dominance over their hosts, Atletico will also be hoping to improve on their recent two results. They have registered two straight draws ahead of this game but those came against much tougher opponents. Atletico have three wins in five league matches, they are unbeaten in their six matches this season, and have scored two or more goals in three of the six games. In their last five matches, Atletico have three clean sheets and in 10 league games, they are unbeaten. In this game, they will be without Joao Felix, who was sent off in the draw with Athletic Club.
