Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction & Betting tips
Second top game on matchday 33 in La Liga: After FC Barcelona lost points in the title fight in the game against third against Atletico Madrid in the game 2-2, leaders Real Madrid in the small derby against the sixth-placed Getafe CF had the chance on Thursday evening extend the table lead to four points.
It would be an extremely big step towards the championship with only five games remaining. The chance for Real after Barças Patzer is enormous, but the game should not be an easy one – even if the derby Real Madrid vs. Getafe odds clearly show that Real is the big favorite.
Because Getafe is also about a lot, the team from the Madrid suburb competes for Europe and at best wants to achieve the qualification for the Champions League. But this is five points away, as opponent Sevilla effortlessly did the homework against relegation candidate Leganes in the 3-0 victory.
Real Madrid :
Late on Tuesday evening, Real Madrid, sitting on the sofa, watched with pleasure how city rival Atletico did the royal a huge favor. The team of coach Diego Simeone won championship rival FC Barcelona 2-2 at Camp Nou – the winner of this division of points is Real Madrid.
Barcelona’s loss of points is of course gratifyingly noted, but “we focus most on our games,” said attacker Karim Benzema.
As at the weekend, rival Barça failed, while Real can take another – maybe even the decisive – step towards winning the title with a win. Prerequisite: a home win in the derby against Getafe.
The Zinedine Zidane team is the favorite, but the Blancos do not want to weigh themselves in safety – it is important to remain focused. “There are six games left that we want to win,” said midfielder Casemiro. The white home vest (16 games – 12 wins, 4 draws) is to be maintained, the lead at the top of the table is to be expanded.
“The whole team, all players have to be ready to win the last six games,” says Benzema with regard to the final spurt and the clear goal of the championship. A home win would bring Real a huge step closer to that goal.
Getafe:
Just in time for the top game and tough away game at Real Madrid, Getafe got the curve. On Monday, the Europa League duel against Real Sociedad saw the first victory after the league restart. With a late goal, Getafe narrowly won 2-1, securing three important points in the fight for Europe.
There had been three draws in a row before, Getafe climbed to 5th place – but since Sevilla FC won Leganes on Wednesday, the deficit to fourth in the Champions League is currently five points.
An away win at Real Madrid is necessary, otherwise the dreams of the premier class could soon be over. “This is an extremely important game for us, a crucial game,” Getafe coach Pepe Bordalas explains before the derby. “If we win, we will take a big step forward in the fight for Europe.”
As difficult as the game will be at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, Getafe is positive to be able to take something with you, preferably all three points, of course. “We are very confident,” said Bordalas, looking at the table: “We are in a good position, even if we have not achieved the hoped-for results recently.”
