Getafe take on the visitors Real Madrid in the round 9 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 19th at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe, under the same coach José Bordalás, once reached European competitions during his first spell in charge. Those were the days when the club managed to advance to the Europa League playoffs — something fans can only reminisce about now. These days, Pepe’s main achievement is simply keeping his team safely above the relegation zone. Last spring, they finished 13th with 42 points — just two more than Leganés, who were relegated. This season started surprisingly well, with three wins from the opening four rounds, though that run also included a 0-3 defeat to Valencia. However, form has dipped sharply in autumn. They drew 1-1 at home against both Alavés and Levante, then suffered losses away to Barcelona — which was expected — and, more worryingly, to Osasuna in their most recent match. Getafe’s attack looks blunt again, having scored only twice in the last four games. Unless Mayoral or Greenwood rediscover their touch, Bordalás’ men could quickly slide toward the bottom half of the table.

Real Madrid must aim for the highest possible results. Los Blancos are always chasing trophies, and under Carlo Ancelotti they achieved plenty. However, last season brought them only the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. In 2024, they were eliminated from their beloved Champions League by Arsenal and lost domestically to Barcelona in every competition. This summer, now led by Xabi Alonso, they suffered another setback, falling to PSG at the Club World Cup. Still, the new campaign has seen a positive rebound: in La Liga and the Champions League, Real have shown solid form — they edged past Marseille amid controversy and then cruised past Kairat on the road. Yet the heavy 2-5 defeat to a struggling Atlético in the derby exposed defensive frailties. Despite that stumble, Real remain one of the most consistent teams in Spain, powered by Mbappé’s brilliance and Bellingham’s leadership. Their recent 4-0 win over Sevilla suggests they’ve quickly regained momentum.
In this local rivalry, Real Madrid have been utterly dominant. Their 1-0 win last April on this very ground marked their seventh consecutive victory in this fixture. The Blues hardly look capable of stopping Mbappé and company right now. The bet is on an away win for Real Madrid with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
