Getafe take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 27 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, March 9th at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe enters their home fixture against title-chasing Atlético Madrid in a rough patch, having suffered back-to-back defeats in La Liga. A 1-2 home loss to Real Betis was followed by a heartbreaking 0-1 defeat away to Leganés, where they conceded in the dying moments of the match. These setbacks have dented their European ambitions, leaving them in 14th place, now closer to the relegation zone (six points away) than to the European spots (eight points adrift of the Conference League places). As a result, the team's current form is uninspiring, and their confidence may be shaky after such a painful last-minute loss. Moreover, Getafe has now failed to score in three of their last four league games, highlighting their offensive struggles. Against Atlético, they will only be without Alderete.

Atlético Madrid stays in the title hunt. Diego Simeone's men remain firmly in the La Liga title race, climbing to second place after Real Madrid's slip-up against Betis. This was made possible thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Athletic Bilbao, where Julián Álvarez scored the decisive goal midway through the second half. With just one point separating them from leaders Barcelona, Atlético must go all out for the win against Getafe. However, they also need to recover physically and mentally after their 1-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League clash at the Bernabéu. Despite missing Azpilicueta and having Koke as a doubt, Simeone has enough depth in his squad to field a strong lineup. Additionally, Atlético boasts the best defensive record in La Liga this season, conceding just 15 goals, which could prove crucial in neutralizing Getafe’s struggling attack.
Getafe has not been a problematic opponent for Atlético this season. They secured a typical 1-0 home win over Bordalás' side in La Liga and later demolished them 5-0 in the Copa del Rey. In fact, Atlético has won all three of their last meetings, dating back to last season. Given Getafe's poor form and Atlético's title ambitions, a hard-fought but ultimately successful outing for the visitors is expected. Considering their superior quality, motivation, and attacking firepower, Atlético should secure all three points, likely in a gritty fashion.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
