THE LOWDOWN
GETAFE
Jose Bordalas is in his second stint in charge of Getafe and he is attempting to get Getafe overperforming once again and pushing towards the top seven and the European spots. In fact, they begin this midweek sitting just five points behind the top seven with this being a game-in-hand as they look to close the gap.
The home team come into this one on the back of a comfortable 2-0 defeat of struggling Granada in their most recent outing with first-half goals from Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral. That win ended a three-match winless run of form as they continue their impressive run of form at the Coliseum.
REAL MADRID
Carlo Ancelotti announced he would be staying on as Real Madrid manager towards the end of 2023 and since then they have won some silverware with the Supercopa de Espana over in Saudi Arabia and their La Liga form has continued to be extremely impressive as they sit a point behind Girona with the chance to go top-of-the-table with their game-in-hand against Getafe on Thursday.
Los Blancos come into this one on the back of a come from behind victory in the Canary Islands at the weekend to defeat Las Palmas by two goals to one. They have enjoyed five successive victories in the league now and have suffered just two defeats in 29 matches across all competitions so far this season with both of those losses coming against capital city rivals, Atletico Madrid.

THE PREDICTION
This Madrid derby pits one of the most awkward and fiercest teams to play against anywhere in European football in Getafe against the 14-time European champions in excellent league form, Real Madrid. Getafe have been a lot more entertaining to watch this season than usually with their 21 games producing 56 goals so far this season. Real Madrid, though, will head to Getafe with the knowledge they will have to simply grind out victory and that is something they have proven themselves very capable of doing so a low-scoring away win would seem a good bet for this one.
TIP: REAL MADRID TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS
