Real Madrid v Getafe

Real Madrid vs Getafe Preview

Following their 2-0 midweek loss away from home at Liverpool in the Champions League, Real Madrid will be eager to return to La Liga action on Sunday afternoon as the hosts entertain lowly Getafe, no doubt looking to make it three league wins on the trot on the domestic front.

Getafe captured only their second win of this season's La Liga campaign when they registered a welcome and much-needed 2-0 home win against Real Valladolid which has helped lift the visitors up into 15th place and three points above the relegation zone.

Real Madrid currently find themselves sitting in second place in the Spanish top flight table where they trail their old rivals and league leaders, Barcelona, with a four-point margin separating the two sides following a recent 4-0 loss at home to their rivals.

Nevertheless, that loss has been Real Madrid's only slip-up in an otherwise consistent campaign which has also seen the hosts produce nine wins within their opening 13 league matches, six of which have been registered on home soil at their Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

In addition, Real Madrid have kept four clean sheets in their seven home games to date in this season's La Liga campaign while five of the seven home games have also resulted in only one team scoring.

Getafe enjoyed a rare success in this season's La Liga campaign last weekend by virtue of recording a 2-0 home win against the bottom placed club, Real Valladolid, while the visitors' only other highlight came in the form of a 2-0 home win against Alaves earlier in the season.

However, these two victories have been the extent of Getafe's endeavours so far as the visitors have either been involved in draws or being dealt defeats for the most part, drawing no fewer than seven games along with slipping to five defeats as well.

The bigger picture shows Getafe have managed to collect just two wins from their previous 19 league matches overall in La Liga which also includes being dealt no fewer than 10 defeats in the process, six of which have been inflicted upon José Bordalás' side on their travels.

Getafe have also registered just two wins from their last 26 outings on the road overall in the domestic top flight which does not appear to bode well for this upcoming visit to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, while goals for only one side look a promising option for this upcoming fixture against Real Madrid.

Indeed, 13 of these last 26 away games have resulted in Both Teams To Score - No.
