Getafe - Atlético Madrid predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 5.20, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Getafe don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Considering the balance of power in this match, it seems that a draw may be the extent of the home team’s ambition. Atlético Madrid are at a clear advantage, which is reflected in the 1.78 odds for an away win 1X2 bet.

While Getafe’s previous loss will hurt their La Liga standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Mallorca isn’t exactly devastating.

The last home win we saw from Los Rojiblancos surprised no one. They had a clear advantage in form and played on their home turf against Levante, so the decisive victory was predicted by almost every expert who paid attention.

Getafe are going through a string of uneventful away matches. The last two both had one goal or fewer, so fans are hoping for a bit more excitement at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

Atletico netted 8 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Considering how much of the season is left, keeping the table position Getafe have will be quite hard – climbing up even harder. They’re currently sitting at 8th with a very unfavourable matchup ahead of them.

If Atletico maintain the strong form they’ve displayed so far they’ll be on their way to the Champions League. The title is still within their reach as well, but that just means lower-placed teams have time to catch up.

Looking back at the history of this matchup, we can see an Atletico victory from the previous season. Based on the considerable goal lead they had over Getafe at the final whistle, the 1.78 odds for an away win make a lot of sense.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 5.13 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
