Real Madrid host Getafe at the Bernabéu on Monday in LaLiga, looking to bounce back from their recent league stumble and keep pace at the top of the table
Real Madrid enter Monday’s clash against Getafe following a gruelling Champions League playoff against Benfica. While they secured progression in Europe midweek, Álvaro Arbeloa’s side needs to find domestic consistency after their recent 2-1 defeat to Osasuna ended a dominant winning streak.
Real Madrid vs Getafe form
Real Madrid’s momentum in LaLiga was halted last Saturday in Pamplona. Before that 2-1 loss, Arbeloa’s men had won eight consecutive league matches, a run that had seen them climb within striking distance of the summit. Their home form remains a fortress, however, as they haven’t lost at the Bernabéu in league play since early December.
As for Getafe, José Bordalás’ side arrives in their typical resilient fashion. The Azulones currently sit 13th in the table and are coming off a home loss at the hands of Sevilla. Known for their defensive solidity and physical approach, they will look to exploit a Real Madrid side that is currently weathering a massive injury crisis.
