Spain – La Liga | Atletico Madrid VS Getafe; Wednesday, 20 December at 04:30 GMT +8

Atletico Madrid has been in the top three or four teams for a decade, winning the title twice. This season, they aim to win the title, but are seven points away from 1st-placed Girona. Colchoneros’ poor road record, with only ten points in eight rounds, is a major issue. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is playing well in the Champions League, securing the knockout phase as the 1st-placed team in Group E.

Getafe, a team known for their gritty, ultra-defensive, and “dirty” football, has improved significantly this season, currently standing at 8th with 25 points. They are four points away from European spots, but have a game more than Real Sociedad. Despite being the most hated team in La Liga, their current approach has yielded desired results, and it is unlikely they will change their approach soon.

Atletico Madrid suffered a 2-0 loss against Athletic Bilbao, a poor performance for Diego Simeone’s squad. If they repeat this performance, they may struggle against Getafe. Pablo Barrios, Thomas Lemar, and Vitolo are injured and will not play on Tuesday.

Getafe’s recent 3-0 win against Sevilla is expected to be crucial for their upcoming match against Atletico Madrid, as Mauro Arambarri and Enes Unal are injured and will not play in the upcoming La Liga round.

Goalkeeper: Jan Oblak
