Getafe and Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid team will face off in a crucial match at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday in the 2022-23 La Liga season’s second round of matches. Getafe are 19th in the La Liga standings and have struggled this season to keep up with the top flight. The away team will need to put in a lot of effort in this game after losing to Real Betis by a narrow margin of 1-0 last week.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid is currently in fourth place in the league table and has performed fairly well this season. In their previous match, Los Colchoneros defeated Osasuna by a score of 1-0, and they will attempt to repeat that feat this weekend.

On the day of the transfer deadline, Matt Doherty moved to the Red and Whites from Tottenham Hotspur. The 31-year-old could make his debut in this match.
Alvaro Morata is expected to partner Antoine Griezmann in the final third of the field, but Memphis Depay is vying for a starting position. However, the Spaniard could also make an appearance in the team.
Munir El Haddadi and Mauro Arambarri are both likely to miss this Getafe match.
Last time out, Real Betis had a lot going for them, and the visitors only won thanks to a late Borja Iglesias penalty, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see the same starting lineup for this one.
Borja Mayoral and Enes Unal should work together again in the final third of the field, and Carles Alena and Luis Milla should keep their starting midfield positions.
