Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Predictions

• Atletico have won 18 of their last 20 matches
• Simeone’s side have lost just once at home across all competitions this term
• Getafe have scored eight times in their 10 La Liga trips this season

Atleti must keep momentum going

Atletico Madrid host Getafe in a Copa del Rey quarter-final as Diego Simeone’s men continue to battle on multiple fronts.

Atletico will have been pleased to land a home last-eight tie and Simeone’s side have lost only one of their 16 all-competition Riyadh Air Metropolitano matches this term.

Atleti sit only one point off Real Madrid in the race for the La Liga title, they made smooth progress in the Champions League and Getafe may struggle to break Atletico down on home turf.

The in-form hosts showed all of their famous fighting spirit and tenacity when beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at the Metropolitano, despite being reduced to ten men early in the first half of that contest last month, and Simeone’s men are a difficult side to quell when motivation is peaking.

Getafe have been in decent form, but Jose Bordalas’ men registered only one shot on target when battling to a 0-0 draw with Seville last time out and they have scored only eight goals in ten away La Liga matches this term.

A small play on Atletico to win to nil looks the best way of attacking this Copa del Rey last-eight showdown, while Julian Alvarez can add to his four goals in this competition.
