Getafe v Real Madrid

Getafe vs Real Madrid Preview

Getafe will be looking to build upon their recent 2-0 victory against Granada when they play host to high-flying Real Madrid at their Estadio Coliseum on Thursday night in this upcoming La Liga clash with the hosts currently occupying a mid-table position of 10th place and knowing that another three points would see them move up into the top half of the table.

However, although Getafe have been handed just three defeats out of their previous 15 league matches in the Spanish top flight overall, Jose Bordalas' side face a tough challenge here on Thursday night as their visitors will also be highly motivated in grabbing all three points in this encounter as it would send them to the top of the league. Back to Getafe, and losses to Las Palmas, Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna have been made up for by recording five wins along with picking up points in no fewer than seven draws within these last 15 games.

Getafe will be hoping previous wins against the likes of Cadiz, Almeria, Valencia, Sevilla and Granada will stand them in good stead against their more illustrious opponents here on Thursday night, especially as Getafe have su?ered just the one defeat from their previous 13 home games in La Liga.

Real Madrid picked up a fifth league win on the trot in the Spanish top flight following a 2-1 win away from home at Las Palmas and the visitors will be eager to extend this winning streak in pursuit of claiming top spot in the La Liga table when they make their way to the Estadio Coliseum on Thursday night. Previous important wins against Villarreal, Alaves, Mallorca and Almeria have helped Real Madrid maintain their quest for a La Liga title in this season's campaign but dark horses, Girona, continue to push Carlo Anceloti's side all the way as the two clubs battle it out in a two-horse race for the domestic title.

The visitors have been dealt just the single defeat so far this term which came in the shape of a 3-1 loss away at city rivals, Atletico Madrid, but nevertheless, Real Madrid have collected no fewer than 17 wins from their total of 21 league matches played to date this season. Real Madrid have also impressed on their travels so far this season as well, with Ancelotti's side picking up eight wins from their 11 outings on the road to date and having won five of their last seven unbeaten games on their travels, the visitors look in good shape to add to their points tally here on Thursday night.
