Atleti to grind out win

Four wins in a row have kept Atletico Madrid hanging on to Real Madrid and Barcelona’s coat tails in the La Liga title race and they are fancied to add to that tally as they visit Getafe.

The home side had a strong start to the season and are tough to break down but they have struggled recently, winning just two of their last eight league games.

Pepe Bordalas’ men have lost three of their last five matches and look vulnerable once more against an Atleti team on the up.

Diego Simeone’s team have a phenomenal record against these opponents, winning 18 of the last 23 head-to-heads and they look set to grind out a victory in this one.

After a rough start to the season, the visitors have sorted things out defensively and have won without conceding in three of their last four league matches.

That run looks set to continue against a Getafe side who have managed an expected goals tally of just 8.6 in 12 games and have already lost without scoring against Valencia, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Mallorca.

Atleti have already ground out a pair of 2-0 wins in La Liga this term and could add to their tally in this one.
