Real Madrid vs Getafe CF: Zinedine Zidane looking to continue unbeaten run

realmadridtraining

Real Madrid will have the chance to extend their lead over Barcelona on the La Liga table, when they welcome Getafe to the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium on Thursday.

A win over Real Sociedad on Monday night meant that the away side are now unbeaten in the last four league games.

Considering a breakdown in communication in the Barcelona dressing room, Zinedine Zidane will fancy using this as an advantage to pile more misery on the Catalan side.

With six games to go until the end of the season, Madrid have taken a point lead on top of the table with five wins since the return of football in Spain.

In those five wins, Los Blancos have conceded just two goals and kept three clean sheets, while netting eleven times.

Getafe are fighting for European football next season as they occupy the fifth position with 52 points after 32 matches.

WHEN AND WHERE?

Venue: Alfredo di Stefano Stadium
Date: Thursday, July 02
Time: 20:00 (GMT)

FORM GUIDE

Real Madrid – 1st (W-W-W-W-W)

Madrid are yet to drop points after returning from lockdown and have taken all 15 points available from their last five games in the league.

Getafe – 5th (L-D-D-D-W)

Getafe may have been unbeaten in their last four games, but they have only taken one win in their last five games since the restart in June.
