Match Preview

Getafe host Real Madrid at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in a high-stakes Madrid derby on April 23, 2025. With the season’s end in sight, both teams have plenty on the line: Real Madrid are still fighting for the LaLiga title, while Getafe are looking to secure a strong finish in the top half. The home side will be eager to upset their illustrious neighbors and add another memorable result to their campaign.

Recent form has been mixed for both teams. Getafe’s last outing was a hard-fought draw against Las Palmas, where key players like Luis Milla and Omar Alderete made significant contributions—Milla providing an assist and Alderete scoring a goal1. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are coming off a challenging period that included a Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal and a tough league schedule. Despite this, they remain formidable in LaLiga, with their attacking stars finding form at the right time.

Injuries and suspensions could impact the match. Getafe have relied heavily on their core squad, but a high card count this season means they could be without a couple of regulars due to suspension. Real Madrid’s squad is deep, but they have had to manage without Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao due to long-term injuries. However, their attacking quartet—Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Bellingham—are all expected to be available and in top form.

Expect Getafe to stick with their robust 4-4-2 formation, focusing on defensive solidity and set-piece threats. Real Madrid will look to dominate possession, using their pace and technical superiority to break down Getafe’s lines. The tactical battle between Bordalás and Ancelotti should provide plenty of intrigue, especially with both teams’ recent results adding extra motivation.

Key Players

Getafe:

• Luis Milla: The creative heartbeat in midfield, coming off a strong performance with an assist and solid passing numbers.
• Omar Alderete: Aerially dominant center-back who scored in the last match and anchors the defense.
• Borja Mayoral: The team’s main attacking threat, capable of punishing defensive lapses.
• David Soria: The experienced goalkeeper, often called upon to make crucial saves in big matches.

Real Madrid:

• Kylian Mbappé: In red-hot form with 14 goals in his last 13 appearances, he’s now the focal point of Madrid’s attack.
• Jude Bellingham: The dynamic midfielder remains influential in both boxes, dictating play and contributing goals.
• Rodrygo: Versatile and dangerous, especially on the right flank, with set-piece responsibilities and a knack for big moments.
• Vinicius Jr.: Brings pace and directness, stretching defenses and creating space for teammates.

Prediction

Real Madrid’s superior squad depth and attacking firepower make them favorites, but Getafe’s resilience at home and set-piece prowess could keep things interesting. Expect Real Madrid to control the game, but Getafe will look to frustrate and capitalize on any mistakes. A 2-1 win for Real Madrid is the most likely outcome, with Mbappé and Bellingham tipped to make the difference.
