Preview

Atletico boast a fantastic record in this fixture, having won 11 and drawn one of the last 12 league derbies against Getafe, and Los Azulones have not even managed to score a goal against Atletico since 2011 (a run of 15 matches).

This weekend is Getafe's best chance of breaking that goalless streak, having scored in 11 consecutive matches away from home in all competitions.

In Jorge Molina, Angel Rodriguez and Jaime Mata they boast three forwards in-form and capable of causing an injury ridden Atletico side plenty of problems.

Tips and predictions

Opposing a clean sheet for the hosts at evens (2.00) is a tempting option despite Atletico's record in this fixture.

If we think Getafe can score on Saturday, then for higher odds backing them to do so in the second half appeals. The visitors have scored 18 of their 25 league goals in this term after the break, and are priced at 2/1 (3.00) to do so again here. 

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
