Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction

Real Madrid are 3rd in La Liga, and have been an inconsistent unit this season under the management of Zinedine Zidane. Injuries have not helped though, and Los Blancos are currently missing some key players who could make a major difference.

Getafe, on the other hand, are 13th in the league table, with manager Jose Bordalas gaining praise for the work that he has done at the club. They have some talented players in the squad, including Carles Alena, Marc Cucurella and Cucho Hernandez.

🎙 Bordalás: "No entiendo que Zidane pueda estar cuestionado. Es un hombre que ha ganado todo con su equipo y al que yo admiro"

Injuries have not been kind to Real Madrid this season, but they should have enough to emerge victorious here.

Prediction: Real Madrid 1-0 Getafe
