Game Preview
La Liga is returning to play this week with a new slate of games. On Tuesday, Getafe takes on Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid team in an exciting match at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
Getafe, on the other hand, comes into this game in fantastic form having won 4 of their past 5 games across all competitions, notably 3 in a row. With a 2-1 triumph against Atzeneta on December 5th, the capital team advanced in the Copa del Rey. They then defeated Valencia and Sevilla consecutively in the Spanish first division, bringing them up to the 8th spot in the standings with 25 points. With just two points between them and Real Betis in 7th place after 17 league games this season, Jose Bordalas’s team has 6 victories, 7 draws, and 4 losses. Getafe has placed 15th in each of the past three La Liga campaigns, but they are in a good position to go better this year as they might aim for a European position in Spain’s top division.
Athletic defeated Atletico 2-0 at San Mames on Saturday thanks to goals in the second period from Nico Williams and Gorka Guruzeta. As a consequence, Diego Simeone’s team is now in 4th place in the standings. From their 16 league games this season, Atletico have amassed 34 points with 11 victories, 1 tie, and 4 losses. They are currently one point below Girona, who will be in league play on Monday night, and 7 points below 3rd-placed Barcelona. If Atletico wants to have a bit of success through the second half of the season, they will need to make strides in their road performance, where they have won just one of their past five games and lost three of their previous four. However, Simeone’s team has been quite successful at home, winning 11 consecutive games across all competitions this campaign, so they will be happy to return to Wanda Metropolitano for their 2023 penultimate meeting.
