Getafe vs Real Madrid Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one. It's the league leaders Real Madrid rolling into town to face Getafe, and blimey, the form guide tells quite a story!

Real Madrid are absolutely flying at the moment - nine wins from their last ten games, that's proper domination! They're banging in 2.6 goals per game and even when they lost that one match to Atletico, they still popped two in the net. Away from home they're even more lethal, scoring 3.2 goals per game with an 80% win rate on their travels.

Getafe? Well, they're having a bit of a mixed time of it. Three wins, three draws, four losses in their last ten doesn't exactly set the world alight. They've had some proper hammerings too - 3-0 against Barcelona, another 3-0 against Valencia. To be fair, they did beat Sevilla 2-1 and put two past Oviedo, but against the big boys they've struggled.

The head-to-head makes for grim reading if you're a Getafe fan. Real Madrid have won seven of the nine meetings, including the last five in a row. Getafe have only managed one win against them ever!

When you look at the stats, it's night and day. Real Madrid average nearly 20 shots per game to Getafe's eight, and they dominate possession with over 60% compared to Getafe's 40%. The numbers don't lie - Madrid are in a different class right now.

With Real Madrid scoring for fun and Getafe's defence looking a bit leaky against quality opposition, I'm expecting goals in this one. Madrid's attack is relentless and even though Getafe are at home, I can't see them keeping this Madrid machine quiet for 90 minutes.
