プレビューRodrigo Salamanca

Tonight sees the first game of a tough LaLiga double-header this week, as our team head to Getafe (9:00pm CET) for the matchday 20 clash that was postponed due to the Spanish Super CupReal Madrid will head back to the top of the pile with a draw or a win at the Coliseum.

Carlo Ancelotti's boys continue their steady march in the fight for the LaLiga title, with five wins in a row and having gone unbeaten in their last 15. Alongside those impressive numbers, are the team's notable defensive efforts (just 14 goals conceded), making them the league's best in this regard, at only 0.6 goals against per game.

“It's a key game for LaLiga and the season," underlined Carlo Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. The Italian will be thrilled by the return of the team's top scorer in Jude Bellingham. The Englishman missed out against Las Palmas after picking up five yellow cards and comes back into the fold looking to extend his impact in the competition. In this season's first encounter between the two teams, Bellingham played a decisive role in the win at the Santiago Bernabéu, making it 2-1 before the end.

Getafe
The Madrid-based outfit come into the game sitting in tenth place, with seven wins, eight draws and six defeats to their name. After beating Granada last weekend, Getafe will be hoping to climb the table and make a case for a European spot. Their top scorer is former madridista Borja Mayoral (14), who found the net in the last LaLiga meeting.
