Real Madrid’s five games winning run came to a shocking end last time out when an injury time goal from Gerard Moreno gave Espanyol a 1-0 win over the defending champions.
Their title defence now looks to be over with a top-four place a new priority for them. Regardless, they would not want to go into their Champions League match on Tuesday on the back of two consecutive loses which makes this derby a must-win.
Zinedine Zidane has been rotating his squad very much recently and some of his star men like Toni Kroos and Luca Modric are still struggling to shake off injuries. However, they seem to have enough quality in reserve and should bring back Christiano Ronaldo and Benzema for this game.
Prior to their loss to Espanyol, they were on a good run of form, scoring the average of over 3.5 goals. They have scored 2.69 goals per home game this season and they could trash Getafe here also.
Getafe are one of the toughest sides to play in the league at the moment and their draw with Barcelona only helped to show how tough they can be. They have been impressive at home though as they have just a single win away from home all season, scoring less than 0.80 goals on their travels.
