Getafe left for this game motivated, after a triumph, by 3-0, in the reception to Sevilla: the goals of the team were marked by Molina (2) and Mata. We emphasize that the locals currently occupy the fourth position in the qualifying table, a place that gives access to the next UEFA Champions League. In this game against his fans, coach Pepe Bordalás must keep the team in 4-4-2, benefiting the organization of his block and counterattacks, especially through the left flank: Mata is a very fast player and exempt in the transition offensive. In addition, the player mentioned above is the great highlight of the premises, with 14 goals scored and 6 assists. The completion of the plays created has been a strong point of this formation. For this game the coach can not count on Djené, suspended, in addition to Antunes and Diedhiou, both with physical problems.

In 33 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 15 times and only managed 4 comebacks.
Real Madrid continues to show improvements to each passing day and this is due to the return of Zidane to the command of the team. We emphasize that the meringues won to Bilbao on the last day, 3-0, a team that has a good time in form: Karim Benzema was the hero of the game, scoring all three goals. In this game away from home the French coach must continue in the usual tactical system, that is, the 4-3-3, Benzema being the most offensive reference of the team. The aforementioned player is still the great highlight of the visiting team, with 21 goals and 6 assists.
