La Liga Matchday 33 is set to deliver a thrilling Madrid derby as Getafe host Real Madrid at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Wednesday, April 23rd. With the season entering its final stretch, both sides will be eager to secure crucial points — for vastly different reasons.
The home side comes into this fixture looking to rebound from a narrow 1-0 defeat against Espanyol. Marash Kumbulla’s first-half goal was enough to down Getafe, who also had Christantus Uche sent off in the second half. That result leaves Getafe in 12th place, with 39 points from 32 games.
Despite the setback, José Bordalás’ men have shown resilience at home and will hope to capitalize on their familiar surroundings. With key players like Luis Milla and Juanmi in the lineup, the Azulones will look to frustrate their high-profile visitors.
Getafe Predicted XI:
Soria; Djene, Duarte, Alderete, Rico; Coba, Terrats, Milla, Arambarri, Bernat; Juanmi
Real Madrid continue their push for the La Liga title, trailing league leaders by a narrow margin. Their most recent outing was a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, sealed by a stunning Federico Valverde volley deep into stoppage time. The win kept Carlo Ancelotti’s side firmly in the title race, sitting second with 69 points from 32 games.
Even with rotations likely, Real Madrid will bring quality in every position. Brazilian sensation Endrick could lead the line, supported by exciting young talents like Arda Güler and Brahim Díaz. Their defensive unit, marshaled by Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rudiger, adds solidity at the back.
Real Madrid Predicted XI:
Courtois; Vazquez, Rudiger, Alaba, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni; Brahim, Guler, Rodrygo; Endrick
Prediction: Who Will Win?
While Getafe are a tough nut to crack at home, the sheer depth and form of Real Madrid make them favorites. Expect the visitors to dominate possession, while Getafe could sit deep and counter. If Madrid’s creative midfield clicks, they could secure a narrow but crucial win.
Predicted Score: Getafe 0-2 Real Madrid
