Overview
In the most recent round of La Liga, Getafe lost with a minimal score to Espanyol. This is also the third of three defeats in three of the last four matches of coach Jose Bordalas' team, in addition to being defeated by Villarreal and Las Palmas.
A worrying problem for the Coliseum side is that their players are playing too aggressively, receiving three straight red cards in their last five games. Overall, Getafe will find it difficult to create a surprise against Real Madrid at the moment.
Real Madrid recovered after being eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal with a hard-fought victory over Athletic Bilbao. This is the 5th victory in the last 6 rounds of coach Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Before that, they defeated Vallecano, Villarreal, Leganes, Alaves and scored a total of 10 goals. Los Blancos will now aim for 3 points to continue chasing Barcelona in the rankings.
Good news for Los Blancos when Kylian Mbappe will return to play after his suspension in the match against Alaves. This season, the French star has scored 22 goals in La Liga, ranking second in the top scorer race. Mbappe was the owner of the goal to seal the 2-0 victory over Getafe in the first leg and is expected to continue to shine.
In terms of head-to-head record, Real Madrid is completely superior to Getafe when winning all 6 recent encounters. Not to mention, Los Blancos have scored 10 goals and conceded only 1 time (5 clean sheets) during that time. It would not be surprising if the capital Madrid team continued to easily beat their opponents.
Personnel situation
The home side will play without midfielder Christantus Uche, who was suspended after his red card last weekend. Allan Nyom is Getafe's only injury concern.
On the other side of the front line, Real Madrid could make many changes with Brahim Diaz, Lucas Vazquez, David Alaba and Fran Garcia among the players with high potential to start.
Expected lineup:
Getafe: Soria, Rico, Duarte, Alderete, Iglesias, Djene, Milla, Arambarri, Cuba, Juanmi, Terrats.
Real Madrid: Courtois, F. Garcia, Alaba, Rudiger, L. Vazquez, Tchouameni, Valverde, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Brahim, Endrick.
The match between Getafe and Real Madrid takes place at 2:30 am on April 24 (Vietnam time).
