Getafe vs. Real Madrid: La Liga Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

Continuing their pursuit of the La Liga championship, Real Madrid will play host to Getafe at the Coliseum in the city's southern neighbourhood on Wednesday. Getafe will enter the match against Los Blancos in midweek in 12th place, while Los Blancos are in second place, four points behind Barcelona.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

After 32 La Liga matches, Getafe sit mid-table with a 10–9–13 record. However, they've lost three of their last four, including back-to-back defeats after a 4-0 win over Valladolid. A 3-1 home loss to Las Palmas was followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat to Espanyol, where Uche's red card proved costly.

Despite their slump, Getafe remains nine points above the drop zone and just four points shy of eighth, keeping their European hopes alive. Improving at home is key—they've won just once in their last seven league games at the Coliseum, though that win came against third-placed Atlético Madrid.

Beating Real Madrid will be far tougher. Getafe have lost their last six meetings with Los Blancos, failing to score in five of them since their 2-0 win in January 2022.

Real Madrid, which was eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal last week, is now focused on securing a domestic double. Ancelotti's side bounced back with a dramatic 1-0 win over Athletic Club, thanks to Valverde's stoppage-time goal, and sit four points behind Barcelona ahead of midweek play.

Looking to build momentum ahead of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Barça, Madrid aims for a third straight-away league win after recent victories at Villarreal and Alaves.

Getafe x Real Madrid Team News

Getafe will assess Allan Nyom after he missed the Espanyol loss due to injury. Christantus Uche is suspended following his red card, opening the door for Juan Bernat to return to the XI. Diego Rico is back from suspension, and Juanmi could also start.

Real Madrid still have injury concerns, with Ferland Mendy (hamstring) a doubt, while Carvajal and Militao remain sidelined. Kylian Mbappe has served his suspension but remains questionable with an ankle knock from the Arsenal clash. He may only feature from the bench in Saturday's Copa del Rey final.

With that in mind, Ancelotti could rotate, giving minutes to Guler, Diaz, Endrick, Alaba, Fran Garcia, and Lucas Vazquez midweek.
