Getafe vs Atletico Madrid- Following some impressive performances in recent friendlies, Atletico Madrid will enter the new La Liga season in high spirits.
Last Sunday, Los Colchoneros defeated Italian Serie A heavyweights Juventus 0-4. Alvaro Morata stole the show with a hat-trick against his former club.
In the recent preseason checks, Diego Simeone’s men were unusually inspired offensively. They also scored four goals against Numancia and Cadiz, and they defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the meantime.
Atletico Madrid will thus hope to carry over their excellent pre-season form into the new La Liga season.
They should have a good chance on Monday against Getafe, who have been far less impressive in their summer tests.
In fact, Getafe has gone winless in their previous five summer matches. Unlike Los Colchoneros, Getafe have struggled this summer to create clear-cut openings up front.
Getafe has only scored one goal in their last five games, a 1-1 draw with FC Cartagena four weeks ago.
Getafe finished pre-season with back-to-back 0-1 losses to Elche and Albacete. Quique Sanchez Flores and his team will, however, hope to take advantage of the home court advantage here, knowing that seven of their eight victories last season came at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Getafe vs Atletico Madrid Betting Analysis
Atletico Madrid have been flawless in pre-season, and they will enter this season opener in much better spirits than their opponents, who have gone winless in their previous five games.
Given that Los Colchoneros have won nine and drawn one of their previous ten meetings with Getafe, we have no choice but to back the visitors to win.
