The Matchday 28 La Liga fixture between Atletico Madrid and Getafe will take place on 14 March at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico Madrid vs Getafe: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Atletico Madrid
Last week the club edged out a hard-fought victory in an entertaining home clash with Real Sociedad (3:2). That saw Atletico Madrid win a third straight league match for the first time since October-November 2025. It is worth noting that across those three games the home team have scored eight goals in total, having previously failed to find the net in three consecutive La Liga rounds. At the same time, Atletico Madrid remain one of the most reliable sides in the division: since the start of the season they have conceded 25 goals overall - only Real Madrid have let in fewer (23). The team sit third in the table, but are ahead of Villarreal strictly on goal difference.
- Atletico Madrid have scored in 30 of their last 31 home matches in the Spanish league.
- The club’s win-or-lose run in this competition stands at five games (three wins, two defeats).
- At least one team failed to score in six of the last eight La Liga matches involving Atletico Madrid.
Potential Atletico Madrid Lineup (4-4-2)*
Jan Oblak – Nahuel Molina, Jose Maria Gimenez, David Hanczko, Matteo Ruggeri – Koke, Rodrigo Mendoza, Giuliano Simeone, Thiago Almada – Ademola Lookman, Alexander Sorloth.
Midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza is unavailable due to injury. The participation of midfielder Pablo Barrios is in doubt.
Getafe
The team are gathering momentum and finding increasingly impressive form. Last weekend Getafe beat Real Betis at home (2:0). That marked a fourth win in their last five La Liga rounds, having previously gone eight matches without a victory in the competition (three draws, five defeats). Over the last seven league games, the away side have suffered only one narrow defeat - a 0:1 loss to Sevilla. Thanks to that surge, the visitors have climbed into the top half of the table. The team are currently ninth, five points off the European places.
- At least one team failed to score in five of Getafe’s last six matches in La Liga.
- The club’s win-or-lose run in this competition has reached five matches (four wins, one defeat).
- In La Liga this season, Getafe have scored 23 goals in total - only Oviedo (17) have a worse record by this metric.
Potential Getafe Lineup (5-4-1)*
David Soria – Djene, Juan Iglesias, Said Romero, Domingos Duarte, Abdel Abqar – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Kiko Femenia, Martin Satriano – Luis Vazquez.
Forward Adrian Liso has served his suspension. Defender Davinchi, as well as forwards Borja Mayoral and Abu Kamara, are not ready for the match due to injuries.

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe: Match Prediction
Atletico Madrid have had a dip in form recently, but it proved to be short-lived. After a three-match winless run in La Liga, the team regrouped and, for the first time since autumn, have won three straight matches in the competition. On home soil, backed by their supporters, the hosts most often find a way through even the toughest games. Since the start of the current La Liga season, the club have collected 37 points from a possible 42 at home - across their last 13 matches there, Atletico Madrid have recorded 12 wins.
Getafe, meanwhile, have generally hit top speed and are enjoying their best spell of the season. The team have lost only one of their last seven matches in the Spanish league, with four wins in their last five during that period. However, the visitors now face an extremely difficult trip to their neighbours. The club have not won away at Atletico Madrid in La Liga since 2010. Across the last 14 head-to-head meetings on the opponent’s ground, Getafe have managed only two draws and 12 defeats.
