TeamsReal Madrid continues their pursuit of the La Liga title as they face Getafe, who currently sits in 10th place in the Spanish top flight.
Real Madrid is currently one point behind league leaders Girona, but with a game in hand, they have the opportunity to take control of the top spot. However, they are aware that any mistakes could cost them their position at the top of the table. With Atletico Madrid trailing by seven points in third place, Real Madrid knows that anything less than winning the title would be considered a failure.
Getafe, currently in 10th place, still has hopes of securing a European spot. However, their form has dipped recently, with just one win in their last three league matches. They have a poor scoring record against Real Madrid, with only two goals in their last 11 meetings. Despite this, Getafe has shown the ability to capitalize on their chances, scoring above their expected goals output in four of their last five league matches.
Real Madrid is expected to come out on top in this match, with odds favoring them. While they have had to grind out victories in recent weeks, their ability to perform under pressure and secure three points, even when not at their best, has been evident. Getafe will need to be at their best to keep the match close and have a chance of getting a positive result.
The highest scoring half is predicted to be the second half, with odds of +100 (DraftKings). Real Madrid has a tendency to score more goals in the second half, and the last four goals in their previous two meetings with Getafe were scored after halftime.
A one-goal victory for Real Madrid is a likely outcome, with odds of +200 (FanDuel). Real Madrid has been winning their recent matches by narrow margins, and Getafe has suffered one-goal defeats in their last three games against Real Madrid.
The match will be available for streaming on various platforms, including ESPN+ in the USA, TSN+ in Canada, and Viaplay Sports 1 in the UK.
