Head-to-Head
Getafe are winless in their last 21 matches vs. Atletico Madrid. However, the most recent meeting finished in a 1-1 draw, back in February. Atleti won the reverse fixture 3-0 as Alvaro Morata scored twice. Two of the last five La Liga scores between these sides have been draws but Atletico Madrid have won 16 of the last 18 head-to-head matchups.
Atletico Going for Record Home Winning Streak
- Atletico Madrid’s difficult run of form on the road continued on Saturday as they fell 2-0 to Athletic Club in Bilbao. Diego Simeone’s side are just 3-1-4 away from home but they’re a perfect 8-0 at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium in La Liga this season. Atletico Madrid have been one of the best soccer bets at home over the last couple of seasons. They’ve won 20 straight games at home, in all competitions.
That includes a 2-0 win over Lazio last week in the Champions League, which meant Atleti won their group. Antoine Griezmann and Samuel Lino were on the scoresheet in the match. As of Sunday morning, Griezmann ranked third in La Liga, with nine goals. Griezmann is one of the best players in La Liga and he’s key for Simeone.
Alvaro Morata has also scored eight times and both Griezmann and Morata are joint-Champions League leaders, with five goals. Currently, the Atletico Madrid vs. Getafe La Liga odds price Los Colchoneros as -265 home favorites. Just Pablo Barrios and Thomas Lemar are out injured for Atletico as they look to win a record-breaking 21st home match in a row.
Getafe Going Under the Radar
Getafe have been one of the bigger surprises in La Liga this season. They’ve lost just four times in 17 matches and have been an intriguing pick for soccer betting. On Saturday, they embarrassed Sevilla 3-0 on the road, which marked a second straight shutout win in La Liga. Getafe earned an early penalty in the match, which Borja Mayoral converted in the fifth minute. Jaime Mata doubled Getafe’s lead before halftime and Mason Greenwood scored a second half penalty.
Bettors should note that Getafe have lost just once in their last 11 La Liga games. Saturday marked their first road win of the season, though, as they’re just 1-4-4 away from home. Getafe’s goalkeeper David Soria is joint-leader in La Liga, with seven clean sheets. He’s conceded just seven times in Getafe’s last ten matches.
This season, Mayoral has provided almost half of Getafe’s scoring. The Spanish striker has 10 of Getafe’s 21 league goals while Greenwood has scored three times and provided four assists since joining on loan from Manchester United. Currently, Mauro Arambarri and Enes Unal are out due to long-term injuries.
Match Analysis & Odds
This has the look of a trap game for Atletico Madrid. They’re playing at home, where they have a long unbeaten streak, vs. a local rival that they’re supposed to defeat. Still, they can’t afford to underestimate Getafe, who have lost just one of their last six away matches. The Atletico Madrid vs. Getafe La Liga odds price the hosts as -265 favorites and bettors can take Atletico -1, -1.5 at -115.
Atletico Madrid haven’t lost two matches in a row all season but don’t be surprised if this is a close match. Getafe come in at +700 underdogs and they haven’t defeated Atletico since 2011. Getafe +1, +1.5 shows -105 odds as they go for their second road win in a row. A draw, which has been common for Getafe away from home, displays +390 odds for this one.
Note that Getafe are 0-1-2 vs. the other members of the La Liga top four in the 2023-24 season. Atletico’s front line is dynamic and Getafe will certainly expend a lot of energy trying to contain them. Los Colchoneros have scored at least twice in every home match but one this season and both over and under 2.5 goals are priced at -110 odds for this one.
