Defending La Liga champions Atletico Madrid travel to take on Getafe this Tuesday at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in Getafe looking to return to their winning ways after a 1-1 draw last time out.
Getafe have had a poor start in this campaign having avoided relegation by four points last season. Getafe have failed to pick up a point from any of their last five league games and go to this match pointless with the hope of picking 3 or a point.
Pressure is high on the head coach, Michel with the team managing to score only a game in all the fixtures. Getafe suffered 3-0 against Rayo Vallecano in their last match in the weekend fixture. The team looked short of confidence in that match and they will have a hill to climb facing the best team in the La Liga as at now.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in 5 matches, drew 2 of the 5 games handing a chance for the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona to close the gap at the top. They had a disappointing weekend in the encounter against Athletic Bilbao in the match ending in a goalless draw.
Atletico Madrid started their title defense with back-to-back victories over Celta Vigo and Elche, but held to a 2-2 draw by Villarreal. Diego Simeone’s men then bounced back with a narrow win over newly-promoted Espanyol, the winner in the 2-1 score came late into the added extra time.
Atletico Madrid are a point just above the second placed Real Madrid who have a game in hand and will look to maintain the gap as they come to this match.
