Atletico Madrid is back from a very important victory, which allowed the Colchoneros to move to -1 from the summit occupied by the cousins of Real Madrid. The Blancos, surprisingly, fell at home to Espanyol, and “Cholo” Simeone’s team took advantage, beating Mallorca 2-0 and putting even more spice in a duel that could go on until the end of the tournament (watch out for Barcelona, too, which is not out of the picture).
In fact, next weekend, Atletico Madrid will be on stage right at the “Bernabeu” in a derby that can direct the season. Before thinking about the highly anticipated extracittadina, however, Griezmann and his teammates will be engaged in the King’s Cup, in the quarterfinal with Getafe. Up for grabs, should they win, could be another derby, since Real Madrid also landed among the top 8 in the competition.
Simeone is aiming to extend the positive streak: his Atletico has not lost in four games and a week ago even beat Salzburg (1-4) on the last day of the Champions League single group stage, confirming the placement among the “magnificent eight” that allowed them to avoid the play-offs and qualify directly for the round of 16. The Argentine coach will almost certainly rest a few starters however, he cannot afford to underestimate the solid and hostile Getafe of José Bordalas, which has not lost since last December 21 and has kept its goal unbeaten in its last two matches (0-3 with Real Sociedad and 0-0 with Sevilla) making a big leap forward in the standings and moving up to +3 on the relegation zone. The last previous meeting between the two teams was a month and a half ago with Atletico getting the better of it by a narrow margin (1-0) at the Metropolitano.
The challenge between Atletico Madrid and Getafe, valid for the quarterfinals of the King’s Cup and scheduled for Tuesday at 9:30 p.m., will not be broadcast on live TV or streaming. As for Italy, the rights to broadcast the Spanish event have not been acquired by any broadcaster or satellite/streaming platform.

The Prediction
We don’t expect anything different from the league challenge in December. Getafe will try to close every space by closing ranks and resist Atletico Madrid’s assaults. In any case, the Colchoneros should be able to come out on top in a contest of less than three goals total in which their goal, like a month and a half ago, could also remain unbeaten.
The probable lineups of Atletico Madrid-Getafe
ATLETICO MADRID (4-3-3): Musso; Molina, Le Normand, Gimenez, Azpilicueta; De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Simeone, Griezmann, Sorloth.
GETAFE (4-4-2): Letacek; Iglesias, Duarte, Alderete, Arguelles; Carles Perez, Djené, Arambarri, Yellu; Juanmi, Uche.
