Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Prediction and Betting Tips - 12th February 2022
The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.
Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Preview
Getafe are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have managed to steer themselves towards safety after a poor start to their campaign. The away side thrashed Levante by an impressive 3-0 margin last week and will be confident going into this match.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations so far this season. Los Colchoneros suffered a 4-2 defeat against top-four rivals Barcelona in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Prediction
Atletico Madrid's ever-reliable defence has largely failed to shield them this season and has played a major role in their stunning fall. The reigning Spanish champions are out of the top four at the moment and cannot afford another string of poor results.

Getafe have shown tremendous improvement in recent weeks and could give Spain's big names a run for their money this season. Atletico Madrid are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
