Real Madrid will play a crucial away match at Getafe’s headquarters in the continuation of the 33rd week of LaLiga 2024/2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Coliseum Stadium, Getafe, on Friday (25/4) at 1.00 IST.
Despite playing at home, Getafe is not in ideal condition. The club nicknamed Azulones is currently stranded in 12th place in the standings due to inconsistent performance. Of the 32 matches they have played, they have only won 10 and failed to pick up points in the last two matches.
In contrast, Real Madrid still maintains their hopes of retaining their LaLiga title. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are in second place in the standings and come into this match on the back of a narrow win over Athletic Bilbao the previous week.
Although Los Blancos’ performance has not been entirely convincing this season, they are still favorites to take full points at the Coliseum. Moreover, Madrid has a good record against Getafe, unbeaten in the last five meetings.
Key Players to Watch
Mauro Arambarri (Getafe)
The Uruguayan midfielder will once again be the rhythm setter for Getafe. Despite only scoring once in the last five games, Arambarri has scored a total of 9 goals in 30 games this season. If given space, he could be a real threat to Madrid’s midfield.
Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)
With Kylian Mbappe out injured, the burden of Los Blancos’ front line falls back on the shoulders of Vinicius Jr. Although he has not been particularly dominant this season, the Brazilian winger has often made an impact when he has been called upon, especially with his pace and creativity.
