A missed penalty by Karim Benzema in his return to action against Osasuna cost Real Madrid the win last weekend. It was their first time dropping points in La Liga this season, but they still remain unbeaten on the year.
Los Blancos are tied with Barcelona at the top of the league table on 19 points, but they now sit below their rival thanks to a worse goal differential. Meanwhile, Getafe sit in 14th place, having picked up only seven points so far this season.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
The last eight meetings between the two sides have resulted in a clean sheet for at least one of the teams. Real Madrid won five of those matches, there were two scoreless draws, and Getafe grabbed a 1-0 victory last season at home.
If the trends continue, then we should see another clean sheet this weekend. However, Real Madrid have yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Their weakness has been containing the opposition’s counter attacks, and they fell victim to it again against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday in Champions League play.
Madrid should win this matchup, and it will be a low-scoring affair. Getafe have yet to score more than two goals in a match this year and have only scored one goal against Madrid in their last eight meetings.
Getafe vs Real Madrid Prediction
Getafe 0-1 Real Madrid
Getafe plays with five in the back and will have a defensive game plan against the visitors. This will lead to a low-scoring game, but Real Madrid should be able to grab a late goal to secure all three points.
I would not be surprised if the lone goal came from the penalty spot.
