Sports Innovation previews the La Liga match between Getafe and Real Madrid and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
La Liga resumes on Sunday with a Madrid derby between Getafe and Real Madrid at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Unlike several sides in Spain, Getafe have no COVID-19 absences at the moment. The Azulones hope to make this count for what has been another tough season so far. They’re down in 16th in the La Liga table, sitting outside the relegation zone due to goal difference alone.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, have enjoyed a splendid start under Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian’s second spell as the manager has seen Los Blancos take a commanding eight-point lead at the top of the league. They are bereft of a few players, including Vinicius Junior, due to coronavirus, but have welcomed back Thibaut Courtois and Fede Valverde in time for the derby.

How do the bookies view it?
On the back of the aforementioned results, paired with rather erratic performances by Getafe, siding with Real Madrid at odds of 1.58 seems the obvious way to go. This looks like a good opportunity to add three points to their tally. Should this price be a tad low for your betting strategy, consider adding it to an accumulator.

Getafe cannot squeeze past Real Madrid in the standings anytime soon, but will be eager to reduce or at least maintain the current gap.
