Midweek football in La Liga, with Simeone’s Atletico Madrid taking on Getafe at Vicente Calderon in the first match of the fifth round in Spain.
This year Diego Simeone might just have the best team he ever trained at Atletico, even if the likes of Arda Turan or Mario Mandzukic left the club. The hosts brought in a ton of top class players, most notably Ferreira Carrasco, Jackson Martinez, Luciano Vietto and the return of Filipe Luis. The results have matched expectations, with Atletico failing to win just once – 1-2 against Barcelona and winning all the other 5 matches (all competitions) without allowing a single goal. Atleti is on the back of two 2-0 road wins against Galatasaray and Eibar.
Getafe managed to get its first positive result of the season on Friday, defeating Malaga 1-0 after previously losing all three matches. It was a huge result for the Madrid side and for coach Fran Escriba, who was on the brink of being fired. It wasn`t the greatest performance, but Getafe did well to protect the early advantage they got from the 2nd minute.

Team news & lineups:
Diego Simeone has a full squad at his disposal and can field the best lineup, while Getafe has doubts over Lago, Yoda and Velazquez.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Luis, Godin, Gimenez, Juanfran – Tiago, Correa – Vietto, Torres, Griezmann- Martinez
Getafe: Guaita – Alexis, Vergini, Velazquez, Suarez – Lafita, Lacen, Rodriguez, Medran, Leon – Scepovic
Atletico Madrid has all the arguments to win this football game and there seem to be little to no chances of an upset. The hosts know that they can`t afford to lose points in these kind of matches, not with Barcelona and Real playing lights out – so expect Simeone’s side to start strong and keep focus for 90 minutes against a Getafe team that many can argue is the worst in the league in terms of talent.
Atletico Madrid to win to nil was my first instinct here, but I reckon it`s better to go with an asian handicap. I expect the hosts to dominate the game from the outset, so I wouldn`t want to lose the bet in case of a lucky Getafe goal. My tip is Atletico Madrid -1,25 asian handicap. Prediction: Atletico Madrid – Getafe 3-0.
Pick: Atletico Madrid (-1,25 Asian Handicap)
Odds: 1.70 @ Pinnacle

totally agree with you mate. i love this team of atleti and also simeone. think he`s one of the greatest coaches, top class. for tomorrow i will take advantage of a bigger odd, choosing -2 HA @ 2,50
keep up your good work! cheers
-2 AH looks even better than my tip at those odds, but I`m just afraid that Atleti is not the team to win by big margins.
However, with the new offensive talent in the team, I reckon they should score at least 2, maybe 3 and keep a clean sheet as well. Good luck!
I agree with you. Griezmann is in a high shape, and altough I do not like Torres anymore, I think that Atletico will confortably win.
Good luck!
