With a win from their match against Getafe, Atletico Madrid could secure their place in the top two of the La Liga, following Real Madrid’s loss to Sevilla in their last match, and with Barcelona having already won the La Liga title, that is all Atletico can play for in this game, and probably the last one. Getafe, on the other hand, have all to play for here, as they seek a place in the Europa League. Placed eighth on the log, Getafe can rise to sixth place on 58 points, but their fate as far as Europa League places are concerned, is not in their hands. They are however playing at home and with a five match unbeaten run ahead of this clash and will want to take their chances against an Atletico side that head to the game straight from a loss at home. Atletico are also more focused on the Europa League final against Marseille and there is a chance they will rest a number of key players, with their place in the top four already assured. Atletico’s two wins in the last five outings may give Getafe some hope going into this match but two losses at home in their last five may not hold the best of preps for them as they prepare to take on one of the toughest sides in Spain this season. The win over Deportivo Alaves in their last fixture was the first for Atletico in six away games and they will hope to build on it as they face a team with just two losses at home in 14 matches. Getafe have picked 13 of a possible 15 in the last five league matches and have the third best defence in the league this season. Atletico also have a good defence, actually the best in La Liga, which means this clash may not experience too many goals. Atletico are unbeaten in 13 matches against Getafe and have in the run, won 10. The two sides have previously met 30 times and Getafe have four wins, Atletico 18.
