Current Form
Real Madrid
Los Blancos have had a turbulent run recently, suffering their third Champions League defeat just four days prior against Liverpool, leaving players and fans alike concerned about their form. They have lost four times already this season, double the number of defeats they experienced last year. Key players such as Vinicius Jr., Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, and David Alaba are currently nursing injuries, which heavily impacts the squad depth. However, the return of Rodrygo provides a much-needed boost.
Despite these setbacks, Real Madrid is determined to secure a victory over 15th-placed Getafe and maintain pressure on their rivals for the La Liga title, currently behind Barcelona by four points with a game in hand.
Getafe
On the other hand, Getafe is grappling with their own challenges this season. Currently positioned near the bottom of the La Liga standings, they are desperately fighting to avoid relegation. However, they recently managed a 3-0 victory over Manises in the Copa del Rey, giving them a much-needed morale boost ahead of this encounter. Still, they are seeking their first away victory of the season in La Liga.
