Real Madrid have started the new season looking like they mean business, and they will be hoping to extend their advantage at the top of the standings this weekend when they play their first home match of the season against Getafe.
La Liga Preview
It has been a stunning start to the new season for Real Madrid, as they are the only team in Spain still sporting a 100% record after three matches. That record is even more impressive considering that they have played each of their opening three matches this term away from home. However, this weekend they return to the Bernabeu.
The Spanish giants continued their excellent start to the new season last Friday, as Jude Bellingham was once again the match-winner. Bellingham netted the only goal against Celta Vigo with just nine minutes of the 90 remaining. It was a battling performance by Madrid, as they registered just three shots on target. But, this new-look side is looking extremely challenging to break down over the opening month.
Getafe will be the first visitors to the new-look Bernabeu this weekend, as they look to build on a fairly impressive start to the new season. The Spanish club have won once, drawn once, and lost once over their opening three matches, as they sit eleventh in the overall standings.
Getafe finally landed a first victory of the season in their most recent fixture, as they landed maximum points against Alaves in front of their own fans. They needed to be patient in that fixture, with their winning goal eventually being scored from the penalty spot with just six minutes remaining. Borja Mayoral was the match-winner for Getafe last weekend.
Real Madrid vs Getafe Head to Head
Real Madrid boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won 23 of the previous 27 matches between the sides, averaging 2.6 goals per game. The hosts have won each of the last three clashes between the sides, which includes a 1-0 win in this exact fixture last term.
Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction
This looks like a good fixture for Real Madrid to open their home campaign with maximum points this weekend. We expect the hosts to continue their perfect start to the new season by picking up a 3-0 win.
