Getafe vs Real Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | October 8, 2022
Real Madrid will look to return to winning ways when they visit the Coliseum Alfonso Perez to face Getafe in La Liga on Saturday (October 8).
Los Blancos saw their winning start to the league season snapped by Osasuna last weekend in a shocking 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. What was supposedly going to be another walk in the park for the champions turned out to be a night of frustration.
Vinicius Junior's first-half goal was canceled out by Kike Garcia early after the restart, but more crucially, Karim Benzema missed a late penalty. David Garcia was sent off for the visitors, but the holders failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage as Osasuna hung on for a draw.
Following their first dropped points of the season, Madrid have slipped to second place, trailing Barcelona (19) on goal difference after seven games. Getafe, meanwhile, are down in 14th place with just two wins and seven points from seven games following what has been a disappointing start to the season.
After failing to win in their opening four games, the Azulones picked up back-to-back victories over Real Sociedad and Osasuna just before the international break. However, Quique Sanchez Flores' side returned from a two-week hiatus to lose 3-2 at home to Real Valladolid at the weekend.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Prediction
Getafe have been a thorn in Real Madrid's flesh lately, but their indifferent form this season could be their undoing against their city rivals.
