Atletico Madrid vs Getafe: Betting on Colchoneros to Win in the Total Under Match

Atletico Madrid will finish Saturday's matchday of the 24th round of the Spanish La Liga against Getafe. Atletico is the clear favourite, but the excellent form of the Citizens and the problems in the Colchoneros' defence should be noted.

After their loss in the Spanish Super Cup and relegation from the Copa del Rey, Atletico de Madrid defeated Valencia and lost at the Camp Nou to Barcelona. In their last five matches, the Spaniards have only one win, three defeats and one draw, with 12 goals conceded. The current Atletico doesn't provide the kind of reliability we were used to in the days of Diego Simeone. At the start of Matchday 24, Madrid is sitting in fifth place, two points behind Barcelona in the Champions League zone, whom they lost to in the last round. Atletico Madrid's home statistics are sixth in the division, but they will move up to fourth place if they beat Getafe. 

Getafe has long concentrated exclusively on La Liga, and in their last three games, they have scored seven points, which has improved their position considerably. Before the round starts, the team is in 15th position, seven points ahead of Cadiz, the 18th team from the relegation zone. On the one hand, you could say that Getafe is in excellent form. On the other hand, the away side can breathe easy, the relegation zone is seven points out, and as long as Getafe are safe, there's nothing to worry about. Getafe is just 17th in the division, with no wins in 11 games, six defeats and a goal difference of 3:12.

Atletico has been conceding a lot this season, which is no credit to the Colchoneros. However, it will be with Getafe that they can finally break their unpleasant streak. We believe that Madrid will pay more attention to defence in Saturday's game and do everything possible to end the matches without conceding goals. Our betting options for Atletico vs Getafe are W1 To Nil for 1.95, TU (1.5) for 2.78, Correct Score 1:0 for 4.75.
