Team Analysis
Atletico Madrid's current form is commendable, as the team rides a three-match winning wave in the league, managing to reduce the gap to Barcelona in third-place to just three points. They are preparing for an away match against a fluctuating Getafe team on Wednesday.

Atletico, revelling in their good form, will be eager to confront an inconsistent Getafe side, who despite playing on home ground, have been inconsistent. Getafe has managed not to secure a victory in eight of their last ten league games, leaving them at 10th place in the rankings. Atletico Madrid, holding 4th place in La Liga standings, would be keen on overtaking Barcelona, whose recent league performances have been lacklustre.

Additionally, Getafe’s home record is less promising, with the team failing to secure a win in their last three games and losing twice during this period. Given Atletico Madrid's record of securing two wins in their recent three league away games, the visiting team is likely to be in good spirits on Wednesday.

Head-to-Head
Atletico Madrid can rely on their strong historical record, enjoying a 30-match unbeaten streak against Villarreal. Specifically, in this venue, Atletico has secured no defeat against Villarreal since 2011. In 11 out of their last 12 duels with Villarreal at this venue, Atletico has maintained a clean sheet.

Odds Analysis
Despite appearances suggesting the likelihood for a lively match, it may not be the case for both teams. Atletico Madrid claims one of the strongest offensive lines this season and has managed to keep a clean sheet in most recent encounters at this venue.

Despite Atletico’s strength, Getafe’s variable home performance suggests a win for the away team. Predicting a low-scoring match, we lean towards an away victory. Following Getafa's tendency for less than 2.5 goals, as an alternative pick, we anticipate Atletico Madrid to secure a 2-0 victory.

Pick: Atletico Madrid to win
