Atletico Madrid will have the opportunity to secure their spot in next season’s Champions League on Wednesday when they travel to Getafe. The hosts come into this midweek round of matches after losing each of their last two matches in the competition.
La Liga Preview
Atletico Madrid are edging nearer to achieving their goal for the 2023-24 season, with Champions League qualification within a victory away. The Spanish side comes into this round of matches sitting fourth in the standings, but a solid finish to the campaign could yet see them put pressure on second-place Girona.
Atletico’s recent form has been improved, as they have won each of their last three to open up an eight-point advantage over Athletic Bilbao. Their most recent success was picked up on Sunday afternoon, as they scored late to land a 1-0 success against Celta Vigo. The winning goal in that success was netted with just six minutes remaining by Rodrigo De Paul. Atletico likely should have won by a wider winning margin, as they dominated the clash from the opening minute against their rivals.
Getafe will still be fighting for important points themselves this week, as they will be aiming to achieve a top half finish in the standings this term. The Spanish side comes into the round of matches sitting tenth, but they are just a point clear of Alaves. Their recent form would also be a concern, as they have picked up just a single victory from their last five outings in the Spanish top flight.
Meanwhile, Getafe come into this home match after suffering defeats in each of their last two in La Liga. Their most recent defeat was inflicted on the road on Sunday, as they had no response against Cadiz when losing 1-0.
Getafe vs Atletico Madrid Head to Head
The last two league matches between these sides have ended in draws. That includes a captivating 3-3 tie in the reverse clash this term in December. However, Atletico are unbeaten in their last 22 league matches against Getafe, and they have won in each of their last two trips to their rivals.
Getafe vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico’s dominant record in this fixture appears to be the crucial trend to consider this week. For that reason, we find it very challenging to see any other result than an away victory in La Liga on Wednesday.
