Getafe take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 1 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, August 15th at Coliseum Alfonso Perez (Getafe).
Getafe have played under Pepe Bordalas in previous years. The mentor accepted the project in the Segunda and played with them in the playoffs of the Europa League. However, already in the season 2020/2021, it was noticeable that cooperation had already squeezed everything possible out of itself. It cannot be said that new coach Quique Sanchez Flores magically transformed his wards. But still, a modest team managed to finish in 15th place. Another thing is that they took 39 points, only 1 more than the relegated Granada. Understanding what needs to be added, the club's management was able to sign half a dozen players during the summer "window". They even gave Real 10 million for Borja Mayoral, they bought Luis Milho and Duarte. But there were also enough of those with whom they said goodbye. The sale of Matias Oliveira to Napoli and Hugo Duro to Valencia stand out here. Earned 15 million and covered all the expenses for newcomers.

Atletico during last season celebrated the 10th anniversary of Diego Simeone. It was not possible to congratulate the Argentinean. On the contrary, the “mattresses” disappointed: the current champion, who spent a lot of money on strengthening the squad, for a long time they were completely outside the top 4. In the end, however, even Sevilla had passed them and finished 3rd in the Example. But they didn’t shine in other tournaments either, although Manchester United were knocked out in the Champions League. It was clear that "El Cholo" in the summer would change a lot. We said goodbye to Luis Suarez, as well as Nauen Perez, Hector Herrera, Vrsaljko. A bunch of players, from Vitolo to the recently bought Lino, had left on loan. Obviously, Molina from Udinese was taken under the main clip. And it will be interesting to see how the most experienced Witsel, who came as a free agent, will prove himself in Spain. And how will they deal with Morata.
Getafe won a head-to-head the last time in 2011. Atlético have won 15 out of 16 recent matches, including last season were 2-1 and 4-3 in favor of "mattress". Bookmakers do not expect intrigue from this pair. We recommend betting on away team to win.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
