Getafe did not change much after selling manager Cosmin Contra to Guangzhou and hiring Quique Sanchez Flores. Hosts have the same defensive style game and in the last three matches since Sanchez Flores took over they have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss … but they lost the only game in Primera 1-2 vs. Eibar … the second consecutive loss in the competition. Getafe did not win in Primera since October and that was also the last time they scored more than 1 goal in a game, so hosts are in a precarious situation … only 1 point above the relegation line. Lafita, Guaita and Baba are missing for Getafe, the first two being key players, so an important handicap for Getafe.
Real Madrid is not having the best time at the moment … knocked out from the Cup by Atletico after the 2-2 home draw midweek and overall only 1 win in the last 4 matches … not good for a team of Real’s quality. On the bright side Real had a marvelous season until this short loss of form and they are expected to come back guns blazing. For sure visitors are 100% focused on getting a win in this game, they can not afford any more wrong steps and also want to bounce back after the heartbreaking cup elimination to Atletico. Pepe, Coentrao and Modric will not be in the lineup today for Real.
I see Real coming back with a win after the draw with Atletico, big teams always do that. Visitors are playing some great football and they should be able to easily break down one of the worst teams in the league – maybe even the worst if we talk about the quality of players. Guaita, who saved Getafe many times this season will not be in the lineup so that is also a plus. My tip will be Real Madrid to win and also cover the 1,5 goal handicap.
Note that Getafe managed to get a 0-0 draw from Barcelona this season at home, but they were in much better form back than and Barca played a horrible game. Real has more killer instinct and a more direct style of football so in my opinion they are not prone to an upset from a team like Getafe, who is in poor form. Correct score prediction: Getafe – Real Madrid 0-2.
Pick: Real Madrid -1,5
Odds: 1.63
