Getafe will play hosts to Real Madrid in the La Liga matchday 19 on Sunday. The kick-off is at 15:00 CEST.

Preview

Despite all but poor start to the 2021/22 season, Getafe have improved massively since Quique Sanchez Flores' appointment in the Coliseum Alfonso Perez dugout in October. The Azulones are on a five-game unbeaten streak in the Spanish top flight ahead of Real Madrid's visit, including a 1-0 victory over Osasuna in their most recent league encounter on December 19. Nevertheless, the hosts still sit in 16th in the table with 15 points, just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Madrid, for their part, have gone 15 matches unbeaten across all competitions, including 13 wins and two draws, since losing 2-1 at Espanyol in early October. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti's men continue to lead the La Liga standings with 46 points, eight points above second-placed Sevilla who have a game in hand. As for their most recent league fixture, the Blancos claimed a 2-1 victory at Athletic Bilbao on December 22.

Team news

While Vitolo is the only injury absentee in Getafe's squad, Dani Carvajal and Dani Ceballos remain sidelined for Madrid. Vinicius Junior and Luka Jovic, in turn, won't help the visitors in this one after contracting Covid-19 lately.

Prediction

Well, Madrid remain unbeaten against Getafe in the league since 2012 and apparently, in-form Ancelotti's crop are going to extend the current streak to 16 matches in their first La Liga encounter in 2022. What's more, the Blancos have conceded as few as zero goals against the Azulones in their previous six head-to-head meetings. As Madrid, have only conceded four times in their latest 10 games in all competitions, we wouldn't be surprised to see them registering another clean sheet on Sunday.
