Real Madrid vs Getafe prediction and betting tips | 9th April 2022

Real Madrid will welcome city rivals Getafe to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for a matchday 31 La Liga fixture on Saturday.

Before that, Madrid claimed maximum points in a 2-1 away victory over Celta Vigo, with Benzema scoring both goals from the spot.

Getafe, meanwhile, secured a narrow 1-0 home win over Mallorca, with Borja Mayoral scoring an 82nd-minute winner off the bench.

The win helped Los Azulones climb to 14th spot in the table, having garnered 32 points from 30 games. Real Madrid still lead the way at the summit of the standings, holding a 12-point advantage over second-placed Barcelona, who have a game in hand.

Real Madrid have gotten back on track with consecutive victories after their disappointing loss to Barcelona in the El Clasico before the international break.

The visitors' recent form has put them in good stead to avoid relegation, and they are likely to put up a good fight. However, Madrid should secure a comfortable victory.

Tip 3 - Karim Benzema to score anytime (The Frenchman has scored 13 goals in his last seven games and is likely to extend his seven-game scoring streak).

Tip 4 - Both teams to score: No (The last eight games involving the two teams have seen at least one team fail to find the back of the net).
