Bottom three club Getafe CF (7-18-7, 28 points) continues to be in danger of getting relegated to the Segunda Division next season as it faces European powerhouse squad Real Madrid CF (22-4-6, 72 points) at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on April 16th, Saturday as the 2015-2016 La Liga season is slowly coming down to a close.
Getafe is second to the last place in the current league table after being winless in their last 12 outings. They are tied on points with fellow bottom three team Sporting Gijon and three points above cellar-dwelling squad Levante UD.
The team is now on a two-game losing slide after a 0-2 setback to contending club Villarreal CF at the Estadio El Madrigal last Sunday, as reported by ESPN.
El Geta succumbed to the pressure of the Yellow Submarine all throughout the match by relinquishing two goals, one apiece in each half, courtesy of midfielder Denis Suarez at the 15th minute and forward Cedric Bakambu at the 84th.
With six games left in their current domestic top flight campaign, manager Juan Esnáider's boys will have to win a few of their remaining games to have a chance for safety.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid flexed their contending muscles once again as they followed up their impressive El Clásico victory in the previous matchday with a 4-0 demolition of SD Eibar at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium last Saturday, as per Goal.
In the match, head coach Zinedine Zidane dramatically changed his team's starting lineup in preparation for the second leg contest versus VfL Wolfsburg in the Champions League but had retained three-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
The move paid off as Los Blancos pulled off a 3-0 comeback win over the Wolves on Tuesday to advance in the semifinals of Europe's premier club continental tournament.
Against Eibar, four different Real players scored a goal each en route to their four-goal haul, namely James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez, Ronaldo, and Jese at the fifth, 18th, 19th, and 39th minutes respectively.
With the domestic win, Los Vikingos closed the gap between them and league-leading Barcelona to only four points with six matchdays left as Barça lost to Real Sociedad last Saturday.
The predicted result is a 3-0 romp for Real Madrid.
Getafe starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Guaita; Suarez, Rodriguez, Cala, Pereira; Sarabia, Medran, Meira, Leon; Goitom, Stati
Real Madrid starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Casilla; Carvajal, Pepe, Nacho, Arbeloa; Isco, Casemiro, Rodriguez; Lucas, Jese, Ronaldo
