Getafe is anticipated to face difficulties at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid.
Getafe continues to surprise few, as they maintain a cautious approach under the management of Pepe Bordalas. This strategy has been their hallmark for nearly ten years, and this season is no different.
Betting Odds Overview
Following 25 games, Getafe ranks as the second lowest scoring team in Spain’s top division. They have netted 20 goals against an expected goals (xG) of 18.7, indicating they are exceeding expectations. No other team in the Spanish top flight has generated fewer xG this season.
They have already suffered defeats in all three encounters against top five teams while playing away, failing to score in those matches. Additionally, Getafe has been shut out in their last four contests against Real Madrid.
The current indicators point to a secure evening for the home side at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid appears poised to secure a victory in this match without allowing any goals, with an estimated likelihood of 52.6%.
Predictions and Expectations
Real Madrid versus Getafe Bet 1: Back Real Madrid to secure a victory & Both Teams To Score – No at odds of 1.83 on bet365
Guests should prioritize maintaining a strong defensive stance
Getafe’s hopes are at least lifted by the update that Kylian Mbappe is currently sidelined due to injury. He was a last-minute exclusion from the squad for the match against Benfica on Wednesday and is not anticipated to participate in this game.
With Mbappe contributing to 43% of his team’s league goals this season, Real Madrid will require additional players to rise to the occasion. They might have to exercise patience in a match that is typically low-scoring.
In the last 11 encounters between these teams, 10 concluded with two goals or fewer. This includes a 1-0 victory for Real Madrid earlier this season, which featured a late goal in the 80th minute. That goal came only after Getafe had been reduced to 10 players during the match.
Since Alvaro Arbeloa assumed control, the hosts have only managed to score more than twice in two matches. Considering this performance and the historical context of the matchup, wagering on under 2.5 goals appears to be a wise choice.
Real Madrid taking on Getafe Bet 2: Fewer than 2.5 goals at odds of 2.00 on bet365
Forecast for the match – Real Madrid 2-0 Getafe
Predicted goalscorers for Real Madrid: Vinicius Junior and Gonzalo Garcia.
Real Madrid displayed a lackluster performance midweek, yet managed to secure a 2-1 victory against Benfica, ensuring their advancement in the Champions League. They had previously been on an impressive league streak, winning eight consecutive matches over a span of two months. Nevertheless, their winning streak came to an end with a 2-1 loss to Osasuna in their last La Liga match.
Getafe’s main goal is to avoid relegation. They achieved vital consecutive victories against Alaves and Villarreal in February, allowing them to climb to mid-table. Nevertheless, a recent 1-0 defeat at home to fellow relegation contenders Sevilla proved to be a significant blow.
Expected starting players for Real Madrid against Getafe

Projected lineup for Getafe: Soria, Iglesias, Romero, Abqar, Duarte, Femenia, Arambarri, Martin, Milla, Vazquez, Satriano
