Atletico Madrid vs Getafe

• Competition: Copa del Rey
• Date: Tuesday, February 4
• Time: 08:30 PM GMT
• Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe will take place at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the Copa del Rey on February 4. Both teams will lock horns in the Quarter-Final of this competition.

The hosts are in fine form and will be looking to keep their momentum going in the upcoming fixtures. Despite playing at home they will have to be at their best since Getafe makes things very complicated on the pitch. Recently, Diego Simeone completed 500 games as the manager of Atletico Madrid as he is someone who is leading the team by example. They have a great chance of winning a trophy this season as the players are in fine form and are confident of getting a positive result in front of their home fans.

In the last five games, the Roje Blancos have won three, drawn one and lost one. They did lose against Leganes away from home which led to their end of unbeaten streak of 15 matches. Getafe are no pushovers as they are very much capable of getting a result away from home and upsetting the home fans. As of now, they are second in La Liga as well and they will look to keep their momentum going.

Jose Bordala’s side are without a doubt the most hated team in the league. Even though according to Bordalas he takes inspiration from Johan Cruyff’s style of play, his playing style is completely the opposite. Getafe players are known for their dirty antics which they do on the pitch and to get the win they will surely look to make things difficult for the home team. Getafe is a team that can get results against any team as they sit back at wait for opponents’ mistakes and then pounce on them with their lethal attack.

Quality-wise the Roje Blancos are a much better side but the away team can create a lot of troubles for the home team. In the last five games, they have won three and drew twice. They forced FC Barcelona to drop points despite the Catalan side being in top form. They won against Las Palmas and Real Sociedad and surely will look to win against the Roje Blancos. In the last five games against Atletico Madrid, Bordalas’s side has failed to beat them and if they eliminate Simeone’s team from Copa del Rey this will surely give them a huge confidence boost.

On that note let’s take a look at Atletico Madrid vs Getafe team news:

Key Players to Watch

Giuliano Simeone (Atletico Madrid)

The youngster has asserted himself as an effective catalyst within his father, Diego Simeone’s Atleti squad, with excellent tenacity and desire on the pitch. His actions on the pitch are creating a positive selection headache for his manager. Naturally, he epitomises the Cholism mentality that Diego Simeone has sought to instil within his Atleti side. He relentlessly presses to regain possession and provides a rapid outlet in transition. It is clear to see that his pace and explosive movement are some of his most impactful qualities.

In 17 games, he has scored once and provided three assists. In the last five games, he took three shots out of which only one was on target. He generated 0.6 xG in the last five fixtures. His patience will be tested properly against Getafe’s low block and surely he is capable of making a difference on the pitch.

Mauro Arambarri (Getafe)

One of the greatest strengths of Arambarri’s game is one that Bordalas has looked to thrive upon in his role within the system. That is Arambarri’s role in the transition, with his dribbling being an essential element. He can penetrate the opposition team’s defence with his dribbling ability and can create chances for his teammates. He is also an expert in getting fouls and sometimes he does irritate his opponents with his behaviour. Arambarri’s work rate is highest in his team and leads the team with example.

He generated 1.2xG in the last five games and took 10 shots out of which four were on target. Arambarri attempted five take-one out of which only three were successful. In 20 games, he has scored five goals till now and surely he will be a big threat for Atletico’s defence.

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Prediction

Both teams’ playing styles are very similar, and this fixture will surely be exciting. The Roje Blancos do have a better head-to-head record against them, but Jose Bordalas’s men will surely be determined to get a good result away from home. At home, Simeone’s men are in fine form, and the home atmosphere will surely make things difficult for the away team. The Roje Blancos will most probably win this fixture.
