Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Getafe in the round 20 match o Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid).
Atletico had been quite active in the transfer window. Joao Felix, who quarreled with Diego Simeone, moved to England in company with Felipe and Matheus Cunha. At the same time, Doherty, the first Irishman in the history of the Madrid club, arrived from there. In addition, Depay came from Barcelona, and, of course, it is difficult to avoid comparisons with Luis Suarez. Obviously, such a renewal of the composition is aimed at saving the current season. The Spaniards completely failed in the Champions League, finishing in the last, 4th place in a not very difficult group. Recently, after losing 1-3 in a derby to Real Madrid, Colchoneros were knocked out of the Copa del Rey. All that remains is to battle in LaLiga, in which things are also not going so well so far. By and large, "Cholo-team" is fighting to retain a place in the quartet. And now it is holding on exactly 4th place, lagging behind not only Barcelona and Real Madrid, but also Sociedad. However, both previous rounds brought 2 victories in La Liga, both with clean sheets.

Getafe had a difficult previous season, which was saved by appearance of new head coach. Quique Sanchez Flores, having come already in the course of the season, was able to save at least from relegation to the Segunda. But in the new season, after a relatively good start, the Blues noticeably deflated. It is noteworthy that after a long pause, back in December, there were 2-0 wins with Diosesano in the cup and Mallorca in LaLiga. But this was followed by 2-3 with the Levante in the Copa del Rey, and the defeats not only with Barcelona and Betis, but also with Sevilla and Espanyol. At the same time, competitors are not asleep, and now, at the start of the last month of winter, Getafe are in the penultimate position.
Although these are neighbors, Getafe is not enough for a full-fledged derby. The visitors last won a head-to-head back in 2011. All 3 last matches ended in Atlético's wins, and at the beginning of this season there were away 3-0 win for Atletico. Bookmakers believe that even now this pair will not be a full-fledged competition. We recommend betting that Atlético will be able to win here with a handicap of "-1 goal scored".
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
