Real Madrid
- Real Madrid are 2nd in LaLiga with 60 points from 25 matches, winning 11 of their 12 home games.
- Real Madrid enter Monday’s LaLiga clash with Getafe in top form, having won three and lost two of their last five matches and recording convincing home wins in their last two matches.
Getafe
- Getafe are 13th in the table with 29 points, winning four and losing six of their 12 away matches.
- Getafe, meanwhile, are in reasonable form but lost their momentum when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Sevilla last time out.
- Getafe, on the other hand, set up with a mid-to-low block and are a compact, aggressive team that look to win duels and then hit teams on the counter-attack.
- Pepe Bordalas continues to instil his aggressive, combative identity in Getafe, having taken over in April 2023, while Alvaro Arbeloa has done the same for Real Madrid since arriving at the helm in January 2026.
Key Players
- Mauro Arambarri has five LaLiga goals in 2025/2026, the most of any Getafe player, and Luis Vazquez has two in his last five appearances to add a timely boost up front.
- But Real’s attacking talents are on another level, with Kylian Mbappe leading the line in the best team in the world.
Betting Insights
- They have only conceded eight goals in these matches and there is no doubting that they are the superior side, so the bookmakers are right to have Real Madrid as 1.27 favorites and Getafe as 9.5 underdogs.
- There could be some value in the Over 2.5 goals bet at 1.8, however, as Getafe’s style of play could disrupt Real Madrid’s rhythm and, even though they don’t score a lot, their creative spark in Luis Milla could be a major threat.
Prediction
Getafe have failed to win in their last two against Real Madrid, going down 1-0 at Getafe four months ago, so back Madrid to take the spoils.
