On Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., Atlético Madrid will face Getafe at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Riyadh. It is the 17th matchday of La Liga, and the two teams could hardly be more different. Atlético, led by Diego Simeone, are currently in impressive form, having won their last five league games. With 35 points and an impressive goal difference of +19, the team is solidly in third place in the table. A win against Getafe could catapult the Madrilenians further towards the title.
Getafe, on the other hand, coached by José Bordalás, are currently fighting against relegation. Currently in 15th place with only 16 points and a negative goal difference of -2, the team is facing difficulties. Despite a poor run that has seen them lose three of their last five games, the team from the south of Madrid has occasionally shown that they can be a potential stumbling block.
Nevertheless, Sunday’s clash promises to be an exciting one, especially as Atlético are still looking to prove their status as one of the best teams in Spain, while Getafe are hoping for a turnaround. It is a game that could potentially set the course for both teams this season – for Atlético in their fight for the top and for Getafe in their fight for survival in the top Spanish division.

Atletico Madrid form & record check
Atlético Madrid are in impressive form as they face Getafe in La Liga. Under the direction of Diego Simeone, the team has put together a remarkable winning streak of ten consecutive games. Their most recent success, a 3-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League against Slovan Bratislava on December 11, shows that the team is currently in top form.
Antoine Griezmann, who scored three goals, was the standout performer, ably assisted by teammates Marcos Llorente and Koke. In the domestic league, Atlético recently pulled out a narrow 4-3 victory over Sevilla, with the defense showing some weaknesses that were more than offset by the offense.
Griezmann key player
They go into the next game full of confidence, with players like Griezmann playing a key role in Simeone’s team. Despite their current strength and a comfortable third place in the table with 35 points, it remains to be seen whether they can maintain their form, especially against robust opponents like Getafe.
Atletico Madrid facts & analysis
- League position: 3rd in La Liga (35 points).
- Current form: 5 consecutive wins.
- Goal difference: +19, strong offense.
Getafe form & record check
Getafe have had a mixed run of results lately, with their most recent game being a 1-0 win against Espanyol, in which Á. Rodríguez scored the decisive goal to secure important points in La Liga. Their defense hardly allowed any chances for the opponent in this game, although there were some hard tackles and yellow cards. However, Getafe’s potential was clearly put to the test in the game against Real Madrid, when they lost 0-2. Here, the team failed to neutralize the strong offensive pressure of the royals, which ultimately led to the defeat.
Getafe’s recent Copa del Rey success, a 3-0 victory over Manises, showed that they are capable of excelling in cup competitions. However, their tentative return to form in the league, with the previous 2-0 win over Valladolid, contrasts with defeats to Girona and Celta Vigo, where they failed to convert their chances into goals.
Rarely bring their strengths onto the pitch
This inconsistent performance is also reflected in their league position, where they are currently in 15th place. If Getafe can combine their effectiveness in attack with the solid defense they occasionally show, they could secure their place in the middle of the table. However, they will need to continue to improve if they are to avoid being involved in the relegation battle.
Getafe facts & analysis
- Position: 15th in La Liga (16 points).
- Goal difference: -2, weak offense.
- Current form: 3 defeats in 5 games.
