Getafe hosts Atletico Madrid in the ninth round of the Spanish La Liga. Odds for Atletico are 1.55 here.
Getafe in unexpectedly good form … 7 points in last 3 rounds, right on the back of 3-1 win against Real Sociedad away from home. Great results for visitors who are on 11th place and safe from relegation now. But bettors who watched Getafe play know that luck had much to do with those results and the hosts are playing rather poorly … Getafe has one of the worst rosters in Primera but are well organized and manage to keep mid level teams at respect … with top teams it is another discussion. Absentees for the hosts are Arroyo, Vasquez, Pedro Leon and maybe Lacen.
Bet on Getafe – Atletico Madrid with the best La Liga odds at Ladbrokes.
Atletico for sure wants to capitalize after Barcelona lost yesterday and they need win like air … Atletico only on 5th place now but can go only 2 points behind Barcelona with a win. Visitors won 3 of last 4 matches (only lost to Valencia) so are in great form. All three wins were to nil … and if we add Malmo game from Champions League, Atletico Madrid has 4 consecutive wins without conceding a goal. Atletico has full squad except of Tiago (Correa and Ansaldi questionable).
Atletico Madrid needs a win big time and I am sure they will get it vs. an opponent that does not say much. Credit to Getafe for getting results to stay clear of relegation but they are getting those results with huge work and struggle. The quality difference is too large in my opionion, Atletico will win but I also expect Atletico to win to nill … in the last 4 wins they did not receive a single goal and Getafe is absolutely sterile in offense, they have no offensive power and also miss main striker Vasquez (important handicap). My tip will be Atletico Madrid to win, Getafe will defend trying to get the 0-0 but in the end visitors will find the net. I think “win to nil” option is a better pick than a handicap win. Correct score prediction: Getafe – Atletico Madrid 0-2.
