Real Madrid mark their return from the October international break with a LaLiga clash at Getafe on Sunday evening.
The league leaders are making the very short trip south this weekend, as they face a Getafe side that can be nasty opponents. They’re a physical and robust outfit under José Bordalás, and always have been.
The hosts enter the weekend 11th in the table through eight games but are winless in their previous four.
Madrid, on the contrary, are sitting pretty at the summit despite their emphatic defeat to crosstown rivals Atlético last month. With huge fixtures upcoming, including El Clásico, Xabi Alonso must ensure his injury-hit squad stay grounded and take each game as they come. They’ve impressed under the Spaniard so far, but this has the makings of a banana skin duel for the visitors.
Here is guide to the LaLiga fixture.
