Atletico Madrid vs Getafe prediction 19.12.2023

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Tuesday, 19th December 2023
• Kickoff: 20:30 UK / 21:30 CET
• Venue: Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid)

In the previous decade, Atletico Madrid have been in the top three or four teams, winning the title twice during that period. This season, their goal is once again to win the title, but they are already seven points away from the 1st-placed Girona. The main problem for Colchoneros is their poor road record, considering they won just ten points in eight rounds, which is unacceptable for a team such as Atletico Madrid. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid are playing great and have pretty easily secured the knockout phase as the 1st-placed team in Group E. 

In the last three seasons, Getafe finished the season 15th, very close to being relegated. However, this season is looking much better considering they are currently 8th, with 25 points, just four away from the European spots, although with a game more than the 6th-placed Real Sociedad. Interestingly, Getafe is probably the most hated team in La Liga because of their gritty, ultra-defensive, and "dirty" football. However, that style of football is getting them the desired results, and we should not expect them to change that approach any time soon.

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe pick: Getafe to cover the +1.5 AH spread

Atletico Madrid scored only four goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Getafe lost only one game in the previous 12 games. Getafe are tough to beat this season, so Getafe to cover AH +1.5 spread should be the best bet for this tie.
