On Saturday evening, Getafe host Atletico Madrid in a La Liga Madrid derby, as the home side look to continue their solid start to their league campaign.

Getafe have made a decent start to the season, picking up seven points from their first four outings in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out the home side recorded a surprise 2-0 win at Sevilla to push themselves up to fifth-place in the Spanish top-flight table.

Getafe’s recent La Liga games have been low scoring affairs. In fact, their last nine La Liga games have produced under 2.5 goals. A big factor in those recent low scoring goals games is Getafe’s defensively solidity, as the home side has kept clean sheets in four of their last five league outings.

Jose Bordalas’ side do not have a great recent home record, as they have won just two of their last seven outings in La Liga on home soil. Just like general games in La Liga of late, their home games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last seven outings.

Atletico Madrid have endured a relatively poor start to their La Liga campaign despite big pre-season expectations. Los Rojiblancos have won just one of their four league games so far this season. Last time out Diego Simeone’s team drew 1-1 against Eibar at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico’s recent La Liga games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine league outings.

The visitors have a poor away record in La Liga, winning just two of their last seven games on their travels in Spanish top-flight. Atletico’s recent away games in the Spanish top-flight have been low scoring, with five of their last six games producing under 2.5 goals.

This clash is set to be a tight one. However, Forebet predicts that Getafe will record a victory in a low scoring encounter to continue their solid start to their league campaign.
