Atletico Madrid vs Getafe match preview

Atletico de Madrid are currently at the summit of the LaLiga table, with 32 points from their 13 games. The Rojiblancos have had a strong start to the season, losing just one league game so far - a 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid earlier this month. However, Diego Simeone's men bounced back from that loss with back-to-back wins over Elche and Real Sociedad. The hosts will be looking to maintain their impressive run of form when they host Getafe later on Wednesday and end 2020 on a positive note. 

Meanwhile, Getafe have struggled to find consistency this season. Jose Bordalas' side are currently 13th in LaLiga standings, with 17 points from 14 games. Getafe were held to a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo in their previous LaLiga game just before Christmas. Getafe are six points behind the top six but also just three points above the relegation zone.
