With the race for the La Liga title heated as expected, Real Madrid will be looking to redeem themselves after a series of draws saw them lose their top spot. They will be heading to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium with the match scheduled for 4th January with kickoff at 18:00 GMT.
Real Madrid will start the New Year with an away match against the La Liga top flight. This comes off a series of three draws for the Los Blancos, which left them second on the La Liga with 2 points off leaders Barcelona.
Zinedine Zidane’s side has managed to lose one of their 18 league matches during the 2019-20 campaign. The side has had to contend with seven draws, which has cost them the chance to lead the division at this stage of the season.
Getafe, on the other hand, has had a good start with the first half-season of their 2019-20 campaign. Pepe Bardolas’s side is currently sixth in the La Liga standings with 30 points, which is 9 points clear from title leaders.
Will the New Year mark a new dawn for the Los Blancos as they fight for the title championship? Or will Getafe first come back to the top flight division and secure a chance to the Champions League?
