The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of important fixtures this weekend as Atletico Madrid take on Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday. Atletico Madrid have enjoyed an excellent league season so far and are the favourites to win this match.
Getafe are in 15th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have endured a difficult campaign. The home side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Real Valladolid last weekend and cannot afford to slip up in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have a six-point lead over Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings and are the front-runners to win the league title. Los Colchoneros managed an excellent comeback victory against Athletic Bilbao during the week and will be confident going into this game.
