The La Liga match between Getafe CF and Atletico Madrid promises to be an intriguing encounter, particularly given the contrasting fortunes of the two teams. Getafe, currently positioned 14th in the league with 30 points, has recently struggled, suffering two consecutive losses following a six-match unbeaten streak. Their defensive capabilities are noteworthy, ranking second-best in La Liga; however, their offensive struggles are evident with only 21 goals scored across 26 matches . In contrast, Atletico Madrid sits second in the standings and is just six points behind league leaders Barcelona.
Getafe will hope this weekend doesn't produce a third straight La Liga defeat. They are 14th in the table and are home on Sunday to second-placed Atletico Madrid. Will the Deep Blue Ones secure a welcome home win? Read our match prediction below.
The home side were beaten 1-0 at Leganes last weekend, conceding a 92nd minute goal. That followed a 2-1 home defeat to Real Betis and they are now only six points above the relegation zone in La Liga.
They had won four of their previous six league games before these losses. Home form this season has seen them win just three home league fixtures. Seven have been drawn with three defeats. The last four at home have produced just two points.
Getafe possible starting lineup: Soria; Iglesias, Dakonam, Duarte, Rico; Nyom, Milla, Arambarri, Bernat; Uche, Mayoral
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Molina, Gimenez, Lenglet, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Lino; Alvarez, Griezmann
Atletico’s recent form includes victories in their last two La Liga outings despite a setback against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Historically dominant against Getafe under manager Diego Simeone—having not lost to them and maintaining a commanding aggregate score of 6-0 this season—Atletico enters as heavy favorites . Key players such as Julián Álvarez will be pivotal for Atletico's title aspirations as they aim for another victory.
The predicted lineups suggest minimal changes from previous matches due to injuries affecting key players like Koke and Azpilicueta . With both teams poised for this critical clash at Estadio Coliseum on March 9th at 13:00 GMT, spectators can expect an engaging display of tactical football. Although specific information regarding free online live streams remains scarce across various sources, fans will have access through traditional broadcasting channels depending on their region.
