History meets Present-Day Prowess
Key Stats
– Getafe have only managed one win in their last 14 league outings against Real Madrid.
– Jude Bellingham, Real’s star performer, has a staggering four goals in just three appearances.
In what promises to be an exhilarating showdown, Real Madrid, with an impeccable beginning to their 2023-24 La Liga journey, gear up to host Getafe at the revamped Bernabeu. The Majestic Stadium is set to experience the thrill of a home game after the conclusion of its extensive refurbishment.
Real Madrid’s Stellar Start
Los Blancos, directed by the seasoned Carlo Ancelotti, are riding high with three successive triumphs against the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Almeria, and Celta Vigo. Their dominant form has elevated them to the pinnacle of La Liga’s standings, amassing nine points. Notably, these victories were all achieved away, given the ongoing refurbishments at the Bernabeu.

Jude Bellingham, a revelation this season, has lit up the stage with his performances, netting four goals in just three outings. However, the formidable Real Madrid squadron faces a few injury concerns. Last season, Real Madrid lagged a significant 10 points behind champions Barcelona, but the tide seems to be turning in their favour this term.
Getafe’s Roller Coaster Start
On the flip side, Getafe, under the leadership of Jose Bordalas, sits 11th on the league table, having secured four points from their initial fixtures. The start was promising as they held a formidable Barcelona to a stalemate but faced a crushing defeat in their next encounter against Girona. Redemption was sought in their recent 1-0 win over Alaves, thanks to Borja Mayoral’s decisive penalty.
The summer has been buzzing for Getafe with seven significant signings. The team’s strategy seems to focus less on conquering the titans of the league, especially in away games. Yet, given Real’s injury woes, Bordalas will be keen on exploiting any chinks in their armour.
Players to Watch and Potential Line-ups
Los Blancos’ injury roster has recently expanded, with Vinicius Junior’s departure due to a muscular issue in their clash against Celta. The silver lining could be the possible return of Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos, both recovering well. Getafe are not without their injuries, missing key players like Jose Angel Carmona and Luis Milla.
Both sides boast ex-players gearing up to face their previous clubs, with Getafe’s Mayoral and Juanmi Latasa being prime examples.
Real Madrid’s Probable XI: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Joselu, Rodrygo
Getafe’s Probable XI: Soria; Suarez, Duarte, Mitrovic, Alvarez; Iglesias, Maksimovic, Dakonam, Mata; Mayoral, Latasa
Predictions
1. Match Outcome: Real Madrid to Win
The recent form and history between Real Madrid and Getafe strongly suggests a Real victory. The home side is chasing their fourth consecutive win of the season, having already notched up three commendable victories on the road. Real Madrid are on a hot streak, and their stats reveal an impressive tally of 6 goals scored with only 1 conceded in their first three matches.
Getafe’s recent record at the Bernabeu does not paint a promising picture for the visitors. They’ve been on the receiving end of defeats in 13 of their last 14 league encounters against Real. Additionally, their sole away match this season ended in a rather heavy 3-0 defeat. It’s evident that when Real Madrid and Getafe square off at the Bernabeu, the scales tip significantly in favour of Los Blancos. The historical data combined with the current form of both teams make it reasonable to predict a Real Madrid win.
2. Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Real Madrid
Whilst Getafe managed to hold giants like Barcelona to a goalless draw earlier this season, it’s worth noting the significant difference in dynamics when playing at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid have displayed solid defensive records, conceding only once in the ongoing season. Meanwhile, Getafe’s attack has been rather muted, with only 1 goal to their name in the three matches played.
Moreover, Real Madrid’s firepower up front, even in the absence of the injured Vinicius Junior, is undeniable. With young sensations like Jude Bellingham, who has already registered 4 goals in 3 appearances, the offensive potential remains high. Given these stats and the historical context, a 2-0 scoreline in favour of Real Madrid seems like a logical prediction.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Jude Bellingham to Score
The spotlight undeniably shines on Jude Bellingham this season. The young midfielder has begun the season in scintillating form, bagging 4 goals in just his first three appearances for the club. His impressive average rating of 8.63 further underlines his influence in the matches.
His current form, coupled with Real Madrid’s offensive prowess, especially at home, makes him a prime candidate to find the back of the net. Getafe’s defensive statistics, including the 3 goals conceded in just one away game, further bolster the argument for Bellingham to score. With his current momentum and the context of the game, it would not be surprising to see the English international register his name on the scoresheet once again.
