REAL MADRID host city rivals Getafe at the Bernabeu in a bid to keep pace with another Madrid side, Atletico, at the top of the league.
Zinedine Zidane’s men engineered a come-from-behind win at the weekend at bottom-placed Huesca for their second 2-1 La Liga win in a row, but it was hardly setting out a marker.
Opponents Getafe appear to be in a comfortable enough position in the top flight β right in the middle of the table and seemingly in little danger of being dragged into a relegation battle or reaching a European spot and repeat their Europa League run of last season.
Real have been nowhere near the level of consistency required to mount a credible attempt to haul in the lead of Atletico and anything less than three points here would be a disaster.
