Getafe at their home ground. The match is particularly interesting due to Atlético's current form; they are on a remarkable ten-game winning streak, which includes notable victories such as a thrilling 4-3 comeback against Sevilla. This impressive performance positions Atlético third in La Liga, just one point behind Real Madrid. In contrast, Getafe has shown resilience by winning four of their last five matches but remains the lowest goalscorer in the league .
Atletico Madrid, now one of La Liga's most entertaining sides, host a resilient Getafe team.
Diego Simeone has faced significant scrutiny this season for failing to adapt and modernize Atletico Madrid's trademark 'Cholismo' approach. However, recent weeks suggest a turning point for Los Rojiblancos, who have thrust themselves back into La Liga's title race.
Atletico comes into the Getafe clash in impressive form, winning its past five LaLiga matches, scoring four or more goals in its past two, which is its longest winning streak in the competition since October 2023 when it won six straight.
This run of results has been spearheaded by the goal-scoring duo of Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez, both of whom were on target during a 3-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Griezmann has registered 17 goal involvements – 11 goals, six assists – across all competitions this season, while Alvarez has scored 12 times since his move from Manchester City earlier this year.
"They have been growing from the understanding, they progress in that partnership that is being generated and when [Angel] Correa or [Alexander] Sorloth come in, the team is fed," Simeone said.
"We have four very important strikers and we need the best from each of them."
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Griezmann, Alvarez
Getafe possible starting lineup: Soria; Iglesias, Dakonam, Alderete, Rico; Nyom, Patrick, Milla, Coba; Uche, Rodriguez
