Atletico Madrid vs Getafe – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid and Getafe face off in La Liga at the Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon.

Diego Simeone’s side has made their home ground a tough place to visit again, and their strong form there is a key reason they are currently third in the table, with only Barcelona boasting a better home record going into matchday 28.

They have suffered just one defeat in their last seven matches and head into this fixture on the back of an impressive 5-2 victory over Tottenham in the Champions League round of 16.

In terms of fitness, Pablo Barrios is a concern after picking up a hamstring issue that has restricted his minutes recently.

Rodrigo Mendoza is still out with an ankle injury and is not expected to return before April, which limits Simeone’s ability to rotate in midfield.

Marcos Llorente is also a doubt for this game following the recent Champions League clash. Even though he has rejoined full training with the squad, it remains uncertain whether he will be involved against Getafe.

Julian Alvarez, who netted twice in the win over Tottenham, is likely to drop to the bench with another meeting against the English side coming up next week. Alexander Sorloth is expected to lead the line from the start.
