Atl. Madrid vs Getafe Prediction: 15/12/2024

Atlético Madrid is on a strong run, having won five consecutive La Liga matches, which has brought them back into the title race alongside Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Their victories include solid wins over Las Palmas (2-0), Mallorca (1-0), Alaves (2-1), and a dominant 5-0 triumph over Real Valladolid. Most recently, in a thrilling comeback against Sevilla FC at the Metropolitano, Atlético triumphed 4-3, erasing a two-goal deficit in the final half hour, with Antoine Griezmann starring with a brace. This victory extends their winning streak to 10, following a 3-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League, where Griezmann again scored twice.

Getafe, meanwhile, has had a mixed season but managed a narrow 1-0 win over Espanyol Barcelona, a team battling relegation. While they secured a solid home win against Valladolid (2-0), they were defeated 2-0 at the Bernabéu by Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a stunning goal. Getafe’s away form has been abysmal, with no wins in La Liga this season—recording five losses and two draws in their travels.

Atlético Madrid’s injury list has notably shortened, with only Thomas Lemar remaining sidelined, though he made his return in the Champions League. Antoine Griezmann continues to be a standout performer with seven goals and four assists. Argentina’s World Cup-winning midfielder, Rodrigo De Paul, has also been a key contributor, netting goals in crucial matches. On the other hand, Getafe will be without holding midfielder Mauro Arambarri due to suspension and still has several players on the injury list, including Borja Mayoral, who had 15 goals last season.

Prediction

Atlético Madrid 2 – 0 Getafe. Atlético’s strong home form and Getafe’s struggles on the road suggest a comfortable victory for the hosts.

Prediction: Atl. Madrid 2 : 0 Getafe
