Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday night to take on Getafe with kickoff at 10 pm.
Getafe has played in six straight La Liga campaigns. They have finished eighth, fifth, and eighth in the last three seasons and were 15th last term.
The Blue Ones have struggled to show consistency over the last two years after finishing 14th this season with seven points from seven matches.
They recorded back-to-back wins over Real Sociedad and Osasuna after losing heavily at Valencia on September 4, but they lost to Real Valladolid 3-2 last time.
The team will be aware of the size of the task awaiting them this weekend, but they will be fresh as Real Madrid was in Champions League action on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 to continue their strong start to the season, although they have slipped to third in La Liga.
The most recent victory came on Wednesday when Rodrygo and Vinicius scored the goals that beat Shakhtar.
Real Madrid has won 10 of their 11 matches this season, including their first nine matches in all competitions. They are top of Group F in the Champions League, three points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich with a game in hand.

Real Madrid Team News
Thibaut Courtois injured his back during the last match, and he will not be playing in this game. Ancelotti is taking no chances and will start Andriy Lunin in goal instead. Dani Ceballos will also miss out with a hamstring injury, so he may not return until early 2023.
