Getafe’s quest to stay in the top half of La Liga will come under a stern test when they host in-form Real Madrid. The two sides face off separated by 15 points; Real second and Getafe 10th in the standings. Getafe are coming from a 2-0 win over struggling Granada. First half goals from Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral did the job for Getafe and they will hope to carry on here. However, they will understand that this is a completely different kind of opposition. Having lost three of their last five matches, it will call for massive improvement for Getafe to register a positive result against the team with the best recent form. A key concern for the hosts will be their performance in defence, which has been questionable in recent times. In three of their last four league matches, Getafe have conceded at least two goals. They come here having lost twice in the last three league matches. A home run with just one loss in 13 league matches will however be encouraging enough. In their last five league games at home, Getafe have posted four wins, and three clean sheets.

Real Madrid staged a comeback in their last game to beat Las Palmas 2-1. Vinicius Junior and Aurelien Tchouameni scored the goals to cancel out Javi Munoz’s opener. This was the fourth time in five matches Real Madid have had to come from behind. They did win three of those four matches, but will hope for a better start here. in their first meeting with Getafe this season, Real Madrid also had to come from down to win 2-1. Back then, Jude Bellingham was the hero with a stoppage time goal. While they’ve dominated matches against Getafe, wins haven't come easily for Real Madrid. They won by a one-goal margin in their last three meetings and none of the last eight had more than two goals. Coming into this game though, Real Madrid have scored less than twice in just two of their last 10 matches. their only loss in 24 matches was in the Copa Del Rey against Atletico Madrid. This season, Madrid have suffered just two defeats, both against Atletico Madrid. In La Liga, they have five straight wins.
