Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Predictions

• Atletico have won two of their last three home games to nil
• Getafe are on a run of five successive defeats
• Atleti are on a run of three wins in five league outings

Atleti must keep momentum going

It’s been a patchy season for Atletico Madrid, but they’re still in fourth place in the table and have registered four wins from nine home games.

The most recent two of those victories have been accompanied by a clean sheet, while Diego Simeone has bolstered his defence this week by signing full-back Matt Doherty from Spurs.

He could make his debut against Getafe, where Atleti will target a fourth win in five outings in all competitions, having kept clean sheets in each of those three previous successes.

Getafe on a shocking run

Getafe travel to the Wanda in deep trouble, as they have lost five successive matches, the last two of them 1-0.

That has piled the pressure on manager Quique Sánchez Flores, who failed to conclude any deadline day business, despite his team sitting in the La Liga relegation zone.

They have already lost 3-0 to Atleti this season, whom they haven’t beaten in 22 outings since 2011, staggeringly failing to score in 20 of those games.

I predict that Atletico Madrid will win this game to nil, with 2-0 to the hosts my correct score prediction.
