Atletico Madrid will be aiming to bounce back from their Champions League defeat when they travel to Getafe on Sunday, with Diego Simeone's men fully engaged in the La Liga title race. Currently second in the table, one point behind leaders Barcelona and two ahead of Real Madrid, Atletico cannot afford any slip-ups in their pursuit of domestic glory. Getafe, sitting in 14th place and six points clear of the relegation zone, will be hoping to cause an upset, but their struggles in front of goal have been a persistent issue.

Getafe had a solid run between mid-January and mid-February, going six games unbeaten and collecting four wins, but back-to-back losses against Real Betis and Leganés have stalled their momentum. Their defensive record remains impressive, conceding just 21 goals in 26 matches—second only to Atletico—but scoring has been a major concern, with just 21 goals registered all season. They have not beaten Atletico in La Liga since 2011, and their most recent encounters have been particularly brutal, including a 3-0 league defeat last season and a 5-0 hammering in the Copa del Rey last month.

Atletico, meanwhile, are coming off a narrow 2-1 Champions League first-leg defeat to Real Madrid, with the decisive return leg looming next week. In La Liga, they have been in solid form, winning their last two matches against Valencia (3-0) and Athletic Bilbao (1-0) following a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo. While their home form has been exceptional, they have struggled slightly on the road, dropping points in six of their 12 away fixtures. Nevertheless, Simeone's men remain firmly in contention for their 12th league title, and if they can finish ahead of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, it would rank among their greatest achievements.

Getafe’s squad remains largely intact, though Omar Alderete is likely to miss out due to injury. Domingos Duarte will return from suspension and should slot back into the defense, while Luis Milla is a candidate to reinforce the midfield. Up front, Borja Mayoral, who has battled fitness issues this season but still netted four league goals, is expected to lead the attack.

For Atletico, Cesar Azpilicueta and Koke remain doubtful, but the squad avoided any new injuries in their Champions League clash. Simeone is expected to make minimal changes, with Nahuel Molina potentially replacing Marcos Llorente in the back four. Alexander Sorloth, despite scoring nine league goals this season, is likely to start on the bench again due to the strong partnership of Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.

This match pits the two best defensive sides in La Liga against each other, making it likely to be a tight and low-scoring affair. Atletico won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier in the season, and a similar outcome seems probable here. Given Getafe’s scoring struggles and Atletico’s ability to grind out results, a narrow 1-0 victory for the visitors appears to be the most likely result.

马德里竞技将在周日客场挑战赫塔菲的比赛中从欧冠失利中恢复过来，迭戈·西蒙尼的队员们正全力争夺西甲冠军。目前，马竞在积分榜上排名第二，落后领头羊巴塞罗那1分，领先皇马2分，马竞在追求国内荣誉的过程中不能有任何失误。赫塔菲目前排名第14位，距离降级区还有6分的差距，他们希望能在联赛中取得突破，但他们在进球方面的挣扎一直是一个持久的问题。

赫塔菲在1月中旬到2月中旬期间有稳定的表现，六场不败，四场胜利，但背靠背输给皇家贝蒂斯和莱甘萨斯阻碍了他们的势头。他们的防守记录仍然令人印象深刻，在26场比赛中只丢了21个球，仅次于马竞，但进球一直是主要问题，整个赛季只有21个进球。自2011年以来，他们还没有在西甲联赛中击败过马竞，最近的几次交锋尤其残酷，包括上赛季联赛0 - 3惨败，以及上个月国王杯0 - 5惨败。

与此同时，马竞在欧冠首回合以1 - 2的微弱劣势输给了皇家马德里，下周将迎来决定性的回归。在西甲联赛中，他们状态稳定，在1-1战平维戈塞尔塔之后，最近两场比赛分别战胜瓦伦西亚（3-0）和毕尔巴鄂竞技（1-0）。虽然他们的主场表现非常出色，但他们在客场的表现却有些不佳，12场客场比赛中有6场丢分。尽管如此，西蒙尼的球队仍然在争夺他们的第12个联赛冠军，如果他们能超过巴萨和皇马，那将是他们最伟大的成就之一。

赫塔菲的阵容基本保持不变，尽管奥马尔·阿尔德雷特很可能因伤缺席比赛。多明戈斯·杜阿尔特将从禁赛中恢复，并将回到后防线，而路易斯·米拉是加强中场的候选人。在锋线上，博尔哈·马约拉尔本赛季一直在与健康问题作斗争，但仍然打进了四个联赛进球，他有望领导进攻。

对于马竞来说，阿斯皮利奎塔和科克的伤情仍不确定，但球队在欧冠比赛中避免了任何新的伤病。西蒙尼预计会做出最小的改变，纳维尔·莫利纳可能会取代马科斯·略伦特的后腰位置。尽管索洛斯本赛季在联赛中打进9球，但由于格列兹曼和阿尔瓦雷斯的强大搭档，他很可能再次坐在替补席上首发。

这场比赛是西甲防守最好的两支球队的对决，很可能是一场紧张而少进球的比赛。马竞在本赛季早些时候以1比0的比分赢得了比赛，而在这次比赛中也很可能出现类似的结果。考虑到赫塔菲的进球挣扎和马竞的碾压能力，客队1-0的险胜似乎是最有可能的结果。
