(Football news) The Azulones will start the game in 10th place, while Los Blancos are currently in second place, one point behind Girona. After dropping matches against Sevilla and Osasuna in the Copa del Rey and league, respectively, Getafe bounced back against Granada on Monday.

Mason Greenwood scored the first goal through a deflection, and then Borja Mayoral, who was playing well, took advantage of a mistake made by Granada goalkeeper Augusto Batalla to double Getafe’s lead with what turned out to be the game’s winning goal.

After winning seven, drawing eight and losing six of their 21 league matches, the Azulones currently sit comfortably in midtable, leaving them on course to better a run of three consecutive 15th-place finishes.

Jose Bordalas’s side have proven to be a tough team to beat on home turf, with their 10 home league games producing six wins, three draws and just one defeat.

Impressively, the Azulones have conceded just six league goals at the Coliseum this term, and they will need all of that defensive resilience to frustrate a Real Madrid side that are currently the second-highest scorers in the top flight.

Having lost each of their last four meetings with Real Madrid, Getafe are hoping to claim their first head-to-head victory since winning 2-1 in January 2022.

Real Madrid had to mount another comeback in their road match against Las Palmas on Saturday after defeating Almeria 3-2 after being behind by two goals.

Real Madrid fell behind in the 53rd minute after Las Palmas midfielder Javier Munoz scored with a deflected shot after the first half ended goalless. However, Los Blancos eventually won the match courtesy of goals from Vinicius Junior and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Real Madrid is now unbeaten in 15 league games after suffering their only loss of the season in September’s encounter with Atletico Madrid, and they have won five straight La Liga games as a consequence of their triumphant trip to Gran Canaria.
