Getafe v Atletico Madrid

Getafe vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Getafe stumbled to a disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at Cadiz in the Spanish top flight on the weekend which became the hosts' second loss on the trot in La Liga, while Atletico Madrid registered a 1-0 home win against Celta Vigo to make it three wins on the trot for Diego Simeone's side and helped maintain their position in the top four of the La Liga table.

Getafe had previously been handed a 2-0 loss at home to Athletic Bilbao and as a result Jose Bordalas' side still remain in their mid-table position of 10th place in the domestic top flight table with neither a European spot nor relegation on the cards for Wednesday night's hosts.

Overall results have been fairly disappointing for Getafe as the home side have managed to capture just two wins out of their last 11 matches in La Liga which came in the form of victories against Girona and Almeria, opposition that are sat at either ends of the table, whilst also slipping to five defeats as well.

Losses at the hands of Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and Cadiz suggest this upcoming tussle against Atletico Madrid may also be a bridge too far for Jose Bordalas' side despite holding home advantage at their Estadio Coliseum.

Atletico Madrid are finishing their La Liga campaign in impressive fashion as the visitors collected a third league win on the trot on the weekend with a 1-0 home win against Celta Vigo which followed previous recent victories over the likes of Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca respectively.

Indeed, Diego Simeone's side have now virtually secured a top four finish along with the accompanying Champions League spot but the visitors do need to pick up at least one more point in order to stave off the challenge from fifth placed Athletic Bilbao who are eight points behind Atletico Madrid with three games remaining.

Mathematically, Atletico Madrid can still be overhauled by athletic Bilbao but having previously captured important wins against Villarreal and Girona, Diego Simeone's men look set to add to their points tally here on Wednesday night.

Results away from home though have been uncharacteristically disappointing as Atletico Madrid have registered just three wins from their last 12 outings on the road whilst also being dealt no fewer than seven defeats in the process, so the visitors will need to be fully focused for this upcoming encounter at the Estadio Coliseum.

Getafe v Atletico Madrid Verdict

Atletico Madrid possess a commanding hold over Getafe in previous exchanges as Diego Simeone's side are unbeaten in each of the last 25 meetings between the two sides and the visitors should once again prevail on Wednesday night as they look to nail down a top four finish.
