Atlético Madrid - Getafe betting tips and odds

Atlético Madrid are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.43, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Los Rojiblancos and the 10.00 odds given to Getafe to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The previous round of the La Liga saw Los Rojiblancos secure a rather straightforward victory. Playing as the away team in a matchup with Osasuna, they broke the tie with a goal in the second half, securing the 0:1 victory.

Getafe’s narrow 0:1 loss at home against Real Betis in the previous round was quite predictable, considering online sportsbooks priced a home win at 3.35.

The previous two La Liga clashes Getafe played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

The season is quite promising for Los Rojiblancos so far – with a 4th spot in the standings, they’re still in the race for a shot at the title. They are trailing the La Liga leaders by 13 points and not all is lost at this stage of the season.

The away team’s confidence must be quite shaken after a poor first half of the season. They’re down in the relegation zone and desperately need to get their hands on some points before it’s too late. This matchup is not a great chance to do so, though – they’ll be fighting an uphill battle at Atletico.

The two teams already met this season in the La Liga, with Atletico taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 4.50 odds offer a decent return.
