Getafe
Getafe suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol in the previous round, barely managing to threaten the Catalans. Espanyol scored in the 39th minute, and it was the final score of the match, despite Getafe’s midfield player Uche’s red card at the beginning of the second half.
That was the second consecutive match with a red card for the Getafe players.
Getafe has lost three of their last four games, having not scored a single goal in ten consecutive matches, a record that is causing their manager, Bordalás, considerable concern.
We should also note that Getafe performs poorly at home, with 19 points in 15 games, only four wins, and a troubling goal difference of 14-14. The next stop after Real Madrid is an away game against Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid
Last round brought a hard-fought win against Athletic Bilbao in stoppage time (1-0). The Madrid team was rather unimpressive in a somewhat wasted first half but ramped up the pressure after the 60th minute, creating and squandering chances. Fede Valverde came to the rescue with another one of his brilliant long-range strikes.
The after-effects of the Champions League struggle and disappointing results against Arsenal are evident. Still, a win is a win. When we glance at the La Liga table, Real Madrid sits in the second position, four points away from the leader, Barcelona. The two will face each other this Saturday for the Copa del Rey final.
Madrid has two consecutive away wins in the league, scoring at least once in nine of their last ten such games. Kylian Mbappe is questionable after his ankle injury, so Real Madrid could be forced to find a suitable substitute for its top scorer.
