La Liga: Real Madrid vs Getafe Betting Odds, Preview
Real Last Perfect Team Left in La Liga
Bellingham off to a Superb Start
Getafe on Saturday. Getafe hasn’t won at the Santiago Bernabeu since 2008, but this has often been a close match. Now, we’ll review the Real Madrid vs Getafe betting odds and preview this La Liga match.
Real Madrid vs Getafe
Day/Time:
Location: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain
Real Madrid vs Getafe Head-to-Head:
Real Madrid won both of their La Liga games vs. Getafe last season by a 1-0 scoreline. Both teams’ scores have been a bad bet on this fixture, as at least one team has failed to score in the last 10 meetings. The previous seven matches have finished with two goals or fewer, and Real Madrid has won six of the previous eight head-to-head matchups.
Bellingham Grabs Winner for Real Madrid
Real Madrid went on the road to Celta Vigo last Friday and found it challenging to get on the scoresheet. Los Blancos dominated possession, but the match was all square at the half. It remained deep into the match until substitute Joselu headed on a corner that Jude Bellingham headed in.
Bellingham’s goal was the only one of the match, and he’s scored in all three of Real Madrid’s matches. Real have won all three matches so far and conceded just one goal. They’re in first place in the La Liga standings, and it’ll be title or bust in Carlo Ancelotti’s last season as manager.
Kepa Arrizabalaga made his first start in goal for Real last Friday and could be their number one as Thibaut Courtois is out with an ACL injury. Unfortunately, Vinicius Jr. picked up a muscle injury vs. Celta Vigo and could be out for a few weeks. Real’s official injury report only stated that it was a biceps femoris injury and that his “progress will be monitored”.
Joselu could start in Vini’s absence but the Brazilian’s pace and creativity will be missed. Eder Militao, Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy and Arda Guler are also out. Regardless, the Real Madrid vs Getafe betting odds price the hosts as favorites for this match.
Getafe Grab First Win of Season
With Barcelona and Real Madrid on Getafe’s early-season Girona.
Getafe hosted newly promoted Alaves on Monday and finally got their first goal and win of the season. However, Getafe are still without a goal from open play as VAR awarded them a penalty vs. Alaves. Borja Mayoral stepped up and converted to score the game’s only goal. Both sides had chances, but it was Getafe’s day.
Last season, Getafe were dangerously close to the relegation zone, and early signs don’t exactly refute that they could face another relegation battle this season. Sure, they are dealing with a number of injuries, but one goal through three games is concerning. Enes Unal is out with a long-term injury, and he was Getafe’s leading scorer last season.
Meanwhile, Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, and Carmona could all be out for this match. Although goals have been hard to come by, Getafe has done well to keep two clean sheets in three matches.
Real Madrid vs Getafe Match Analysis & Odds
On paper, Real Madrid are a much better team than Getafe. However, this hasn’t exactly been an easy match for Los Blancos recently. Getafe have conceded just four times in their last five matches vs. Real Madrid. So, this has been an exceptionally low-scoring fixture lately, but over 2.5 goals show -120 odds for the match.
It might not be easy for Real Madrid to generate offense without Vinicius Jr. Still, players like Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Fede Valverde can create chances. The Real Madrid vs Getafe betting odds currently price Real as a 1.5-goal favorite for the match.
Both Real Madrid -1.5 and Getafe +1.5 display -110 odds at the moment. Real has only beaten Getafe by two or more goals in one of the last five games between the sides. Still, Getafe was completely underwhelming on the road last season, with just a 3-6-10 record. Real come in as -335 moneyline favorites, as Getafe sit at +950 odds to get their first win at the Santiago Bernabeu for over 15 years. Bettors can also take a draw at +435 in this one.
