Atletico Madrid back in pursuit of third-place finish.
After back-to-back defeats, Getafe aim to climb the table as they host Atletico Madrid in a midweek clash at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, where the Mattress Makers seek to maintain their push for a top-three finish.
Getafe
Getafe were fortunate to remain in 10th place after losing back-to-back games. The 11th-placed Alaves, who are hunting for an upper-half finish, earned a draw to stay just one point behind Getafe.
A 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Cadiz at the weekend cost Getafe the opportunity to earn a point. This result left them with 43 points and five points adrift of 9th-placed Villarreal, who picked up a 3-2 win over Sevilla on Saturday.
Getafe, with a goal ratio of 1.17 goals per game this season, will be looking to return to winning ways in what will be their penultimate home game. They have scored 41 goals in 35 La Liga games.
Having managed a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture, Getafe will be on the hunt for an unlikely win to end a four-game winless home streak against the visitors. However, Getafe are also on an eight-game winless streak against Atlético Madrid.
Manager José Bordalás is expected to deploy a defensive 5-3-2 formation. Jaime Mata and Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood, who is rumored to be linked with a move to Chelsea, will likely lead the attack.
Atlético Madrid
Atletico Madrid [WLWWW] picked up three wins in a row following the weekend’s 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Celta Vigo. The narrow victory was made possible by a single goal from Rodrigo De Paul [84’].
Remaining in 4th place, the Mattress Makers are on a relentless pursuit of an evasive 3rd place finish. Barcelona, who are currently in the spot, are just three points ahead.
Atletico have 70 points [22W, 4D, & 9L] ahead of this midweek clash. They hope to close in on the Catalans, who have a tricky fixture against Real Sociedad on Monday night.
Los Indios are 7th on the road in the league, having collected 21 points from their trips [6W, 3D, 8L] this season. Another away victory on Wednesday would give the Mattress Makers three successive away wins over Getafe.
Diego Simeone deployed a 3-4-2-1 for the weekend’s game, leaving none other than Antoine Griezmann, who is the club’s second-highest goal scorer [13 goals], in attack. He is expected to keep this shape in place when they make the trip to Getafe on Wednesday.
Nahuel Molina Lucero and Machín Pérez are both ruled out of this midweek encounter.
