Real Madrid has a difficult Liga test in the middle of the week against Getafe before facing Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team was kept in the title of the weekend title by corresponding to the dramatic return of Barça against Celta Vigo with a 1-0 victory against Athletic Club. Madrid was dominant against a weakened sporting side, but did not break up until Federico Valverde violated the defenses of Unai Simon with a thunderous volley in time.
Los Blancos remains four points behind the leaders with a Liga Clasico still to play. They hope that Mallorca will do them service on Tuesday evening.
However, they must sail in an awkward lighting to stay in the running. While Madrid dominated its recent duels with Getafe, the Jose Bordalas team once again turned out to be a nightmare opposition for the best of Liga.
They are an unpleasant outfit capable of disturbing the rhythm on all sides, especially at home, and only two Liga teams have higher defensive records. Bordalas’ men are 12th and have lost consecutive matches.

There have been red boxes in Gogo in recent outings of the Liga de Getafe, but only Christanus Uche is serving a suspension for hosts on Wednesday evening.
Diego Rico can return to Bordalas’ XI after having served his ban, and Juan Bernat, loaned by Villarreal, is a competitor to return to the team.
Getafe pre-presented vs Real Madrid (4-5-1): Soria; Djene, Duarte, Alderete, Rico; COBA, TERRATS, MILLA, ARAMBARRI, Bernat; Juanmi.
Kylian Mbappe is available to come back from a mild suspension, but he still suffers from knocking on the ankle he took against Arsenal last week. While the Frenchman is back in the training team with Ferland Mendy, the striker should be kept for the final of the Copa del Rey.
Although the victory on Saturday will not save his job, Ancelotti will undoubtedly favor the final of the Copa del Rey. As a result, there could be rest for Antonio Rudiger, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior on Wednesday.
Brahim Diaz and Lucas Vazquez should return to the XI of the manager, with Endrick an option to alleviate the absence of MBAPPE after his appearance on Sunday.
EDER Militao and Dani Carvajal remain out of action.
The predicted programming of Real Madrid vs Getafe (4-3-1-2): Courteous; Vazquez, Asencio, Alaba, Garcia; Camavong, Ceballos, Valverde; Brahim; Roddrygo, Endrick.
While Madrid should gain confidence in their recent superiority in the tête-à-tête duels with the robust Bordalas outfit, this has the creation of a banana skin for visitors.
Ancelotti will rest and turn in front of the final of the Copa del Rey, and although Getafe plays for little in the middle of the table, they like to mix with the aristocracy of the division.
The Colosseum is necessarily fervent under the lights, and this Madrid team, which has proven to be fallible on several occasions this quarter, could fight.
