Head-to-head statistics Atletico Madrid - Getafe

Atletico Madrid Team Overview
Atletico are starting their pre-season preparations after a rough end to last campaign. The 1-5 collapse against Villarreal on the final day of La Liga was a particularly bad note to finish on. The club typically takes it slow in pre-season. Last year the summer was short, and even then they lost to Porto (0-1) in their opening friendly - two years back it was a 1-1 draw with Numancia.

Getafe Team Overview
Getafe are in decent shape after a steady pre-season. Three friendlies so far - a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid, a 1-0 win over Reading, and a 2-1 victory against Tenerife. No rush, no forced tempo. They're keeping the same defensive balance they're known for. Last season they finished second-bottom for goals scored - 32 in total - but third-best for goals conceded, with only Real Madrid and Barcelona letting in fewer.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Atletico tend to start pre-season quietly, rarely putting on a goalscoring show. Factor in Getafe's style - they didn't score much last season, but didn't concede much either - and total goals under 2.5 looks like the right call here.
