Second placed Real Madrid can afford nothing less than three points to keep their slim title chances alive against Getafe, who visit the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga on Tuesday night.
Real Madrid are on the verge of their third straight season without a La Liga title, as bitter rivals Barcelona look to sew up the championship. Jose Mourinho’s men are eight points behind the Blaugrana with three games remaining and will hand the title to the Catalan club if they fail to get maximum points against Getafe. Los Blancos ran riot in Seville on Saturday, beating Sevilla 6-2, with Cristiano Ronaldo helping himself to four goals.
Getafe may yet face a struggle to stay in the division as they are in 15th place, only two points above the relegation places. Michel’s side will look to show pride and passion as this is a local derby for the club, who are constantly in the shadows of their illustrious city rivals. Los Azulones beat Almeria 2-0 in their last game, which was only their second victory in their last thirteen games.
Real Madrid will go into the game as overwhelming favorites and will want to prevent Barca from winning the title at ease; my La Liga football betting tip is a 3-0 win to Real Madrid.
