Getafe take on the visitors Real Madrid in the round 33 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 23rd at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe— from the board to the fans — still remember the days under Bordalás when they were chasing a top-four finish in La Liga and competing in the Europa League playoffs. On his return, he steered the club away from relegation and once again built a solid mid-table side in the top flight. It's already clear they are far from the European qualification zone, but at the same time, they've long distanced themselves from the drop zone. Even without much left to fight for, the team remains in strong enough form to win the majority of their recent matches. However, their inconsistency was exposed in a home defeat to Las Palmas not long ago. Last weekend, they followed it up with another loss, this time away to Espanyol, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities.

Real Madrid must reflect on how to respond to this season. Since Ancelotti's return, Los Blancos have alternated between spectacular seasons and underwhelming ones. 2024 brought them the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, and the Champions League before the summer, followed by the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup in the second half. But in the current major competitions, the Galacticos have struggled to maintain that level. Even in the Champions League, they looked shaky — Atletico almost knocked them out in the round of 16, and it took a lucky penalty shootout to stay alive. Then came the 0-3 humiliation at the hands of Arsenal in London, and they failed to mount a comeback in Madrid, losing 1-2. Domestically, Barcelona have surged ahead under Flick, dominating El Clásico in the Super Cup and overtaking Madrid in the league standings. Athletic nearly extended that gap, but a late Valverde goal secured a 1-0 win to keep their slim title hopes alive. Now, only the Copa del Rey remains, where Real needed extra time to beat Real Sociedad and set up a high-stakes final against their eternal rivals.
Real Madrid have won all of their last six meetings with Getafe, including a 2-0 victory in December. Despite all their issues, Los Blancos simply can't afford to drop points. Expect them to win away.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win.
