Competition: La Liga

Market: Atletico Madrid win

Odds: 5/4 @ 888sport

Hoping to continue on their eye-catching end to the year, Atletico Madrid will face off against a struggling Getafe from behind closed doors on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a worrying run of form, Getafe find themselves in a real battle to secure another European finish. In their 36 La Liga matches this season, they have recorded 14 wins, 12 draws, and 10 defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 34 in return. With a points tally of 54, they open the midweek fixtures in the sixth, but, only their goal difference finds them sat in the European spots. As for their recent run of results, Getafe have failed to win any of their last four La Liga contests and have also managed to win just one of their previous 10 contests. It should also be noted that along with recording just a single goal in their last four matchups on the bounce, Getafe have won just one of their previous six contests on home soil.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been an outstanding run of form at the end of the campaign, Atletico Madrid have secured another top-four finish. In their 36 La Liga matches this season, they have recorded 17 wins, 15 draws, and just four defeats, scoring 48 and conceding 26 in return. Collecting a points tally of 66, it should also be noted that Madrid hold the second-best defensive record in the division. As for their previous run of results, Thursday’s guests are enjoying a stunning 16-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Also unbeaten in their last eight away matchups on the bounce, we’re backing what should be a routine away victory in midweek.
