Match preview
Getafe have a record of five wins, two draws and five defeats from their 12 La Liga matches this season, with a total of 17 points leaving them in eighth position in the division.
The capital outfit entered the November international break off the back of a defeat, going down 1-0 to Mallorca, but they have actually won three of their last four matches in all competitions, including two victories in the league against Athletic Bilbao and Girona.
The Deep Blue Ones finished 13th in Spain’s top flight last season, but they should be aiming for a top-half finish this term considering the quality in their squad.
Getafe stunned Atletico in the last meeting between the two sides back in March, recording a 2-1 win, so they will be looking to make it back-to-back home successes over Simeone’s team on Sunday.
The victory last time out was the first time that Getafe had beaten Atletico since November 2011, while they have not managed to record back-to-back successes over the Red and Whites since 2010.
Atletico, meanwhile, entered the November international break off the back of a 3-1 home success over Levante, with the result moving Simeone’s team onto 25 points from their 12 matches.
The Red and Whites have a record of seven wins, four draws and one defeat in La Liga this term, and they currently sit fourth in the table, three points behind second-placed Barcelona and six from the leaders Real Madrid.
Atletico have actually been victorious their last four matches in all competitions, while they are also on a four-game winning run in La Liga, overcoming Osasuna, Real Betis, Sevilla and Levante during that period.
Simeone’s side also beat Union SG in the Champions League last time out, but they have lost twice in the competition this term, going down to both Liverpool and Arsenal in England.
Atletico’s away form this season has been disappointing, recording only one win from their five matches, and they will be coming up against a Getafe side that have lost just once on home soil this term.
