Getafe vs Real Madrid: Preview and Prediction

Real Madrid will be desperate for all three points when they take on neighbors Getafe in the matchday 33 of the Spanish La Liga season 2015/16.

Real are coming on the back on a morale boosting home win against Wolfsburg in the mid-week Champions League and their confidence will be high. And Barcelona’s slip in the last two weeks have certainly given Real Madrid a chance to have a go for the La Liga title.

They have just taken 2 points from their last 12 matches and are currently bookies favorite to relegate to Segunda Division this season.
