Getafe – Atletico Madrid

One can expect more than one goal in the match between Getafe and Atletico

On August 15, Getafe will host Atletico at home. Bookmakers expect a very tight game, based on the history of face-to-face meetings. Getafe is one of the most stable clubs in terms of choosing the starting lineup. Head coach Kike Sanchez Flores came to the team last season and was able to help the team leave last place in La Liga. At the end of the season, the modest club avoided a nerve-wracking situation. Getafe managed to survive in the fight for survival. It is important that the coach successfully switched to a 5-3-2 formation. In this case, the players in the formation are changed very rarely. The main squad consists of fifteen players. The main success of the transfer campaign is that they managed to keep all the best players, with the exception of left-back Matias Oliveira. On the other hand, Getafe has worked with a focus on attack. They bought Borja Majoral from Real Madrid. The forward could be the team's leader for years to come. His tandem with one of last season's top scorers, Unal, looks very solid for the challenges that face Getafe. Also for the squad they signed central midfielder Millou, who proved himself in Granada. That is, over the summer, Getafe has not become weaker, while maintaining the organization, coaching and motivation. In the new season, we can expect progress from the team from the suburbs of Madrid. Atletico begins the championship as the obvious third force in La Liga. The transfer window did not cause any upheaval. Right-back Molina and holding midfielder Witsel were brought in for the main team. Both transfers were made to expand the ranks. Atletico kept all of its attacking leaders. Only veterans Herrera and Vrsaljko are gone, which, in fact, were replaced by the above-mentioned newcomers. Bookmakers in the encounter between Getafe and Atletico traditionally expect a lack of scoring. It is hard to believe, but for ten years Getafe could not score against Simeone's team in official matches. The terrible series was interrupted only last season, but at once with two games on the total over. The second match in Madrid was very special. Atletico won - 4:3. Now also not everything is favorable to a goalless game. Getafe at home will not think only about defense. The visitors have previously shown their attacking potential by beating Juventus. Two goals can be expected in such a game.
