A key match in La Liga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Getafe in 6th position and Atlético Madrid placed 3rd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
Getafe have less rest than Atlético Madrid in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Deportivo Alavés.
Atlético is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Getafe form and stats
8 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Getafe have to build on here at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in the La Liga.
Getafe travelled for their previous game, a trip to Deportivo Alavés that ended 0-0. Preceding that match was the home game against Villarreal that was lost 1-3.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Getafe as they are travelling to their away game against Levante in the La Liga. That match is three days after this one.

Atlético Madrid form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga travels is 5 wins, 10 draws and 3 defeats. In general it has been a productive period now for Atlético Madrid as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games. Atlético are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Atlético had fun at their own home (Coliseum Alfonso Pérez) last time out, beating Real Betis 1-0. Diego Costa scored. A 1-1 draw at Celta de Vigo's stadium before that.
Atlético made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Mario Hermoso receiving a red card in the 57th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Atlético Madrid won the match 1-0! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Simeone when Diego Costa scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 55th minute.
A new game in only three days for Atlético Madrid, the La Liga home match versus Real Sociedad. Busy days.
Atlético are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 18 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Atlético as they have only conceded 16 goals from these away games.
