Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Getafe in the quarterfinal match of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 4th at Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid).
Atlético fought hard last season to maintain their spot in La Liga’s top four. They ultimately finished ahead of Athletic Club but lost to them in the Copa del Rey semifinals, while Girona denied them third place in the league. Unsurprisingly, Atlético invested heavily in squad reinforcements during the summer, even letting go of players like Memphis Depay on a free transfer. The revamped Cholo Team had a shaky start, but Diego Simeone quickly addressed the issues, leading to a club-record 15-game winning streak. Their first setback came in January with a shocking defeat to Leganés, followed by a draw against Villarreal. However, they remained dominant in the Champions League. Last weekend, they secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Mallorca. With their recent momentum, Atlético looks well-positioned to secure another strong finish this season.

Getafe likely won’t prioritize the Copa del Rey. The Azulones reunited with José Bordalás nearly two years ago. In his first spell, he guided them from Segunda to a Europa League knockout stage appearance and a fifth-place La Liga finish. Upon his return, he kept the club afloat in 2023 and led them to a respectable 12th-place finish last season with 43 points. However, instead of progressing further, Getafe has regressed, suffering twice as many losses as wins. That said, they did claim a January victory over Las Palmas before holding Barcelona to a 1-1 draw. They followed that up with a stunning 3-0 demolition of Real Sociedad and a 1-1 draw against Sevilla last weekend. In the Copa del Rey, they have already eliminated multiple teams, though their toughest opponents so far have been Granada and Pontevedra. Despite flashes of quality, Getafe’s league form suggests they will struggle to compete against top-tier opponents.
Atlético has not lost to their Madrid neighbors since 2011. Last year, they won both league meetings. The visitors are solid, but the hosts are peaking at the right time. Bet on Atlético to win with a -1.0 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
