Real Madrid seek to remain at the top of the standings, and in order to do so, they must win today, January 2, against Getafe (what fight relegation to the second division) in a game for the matchday 19 of La Liga. Here you will find all the information about this game, such as the preview, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch this 2021-2022 La Liga game live in the US.
Real Madrid continue as the firm leader of this 2021/2022 La Liga season. Despite having one more game than their immediate pursuer, Sevilla, the difference of 8 points they have obtained so far allows them to continue leading regardless of whether the “Blanquirrojos” obtain victory in the game that remains to be recovered.
The rival will be Getafe, a team that is fighting the last places in the standings and, if La Liga were to end at this time, it would be relegated to the second division. Currently they are in 18th position with 15 points in 18 games, the same ones that Alaves and Elche have (but these with more goals in favor). That is why they must obtain as many points as possible to be able to get out of the bottom of the standings and avoid losing the category.
