Match Analysis and Prediction
When these sides met in La Liga in December, Atletico edged a tight 1-0 win at home. Getafe have been in good form recently, going unbeaten through January with 4 wins and 2 draws. However, Atletico should have enough quality to end that run, even if they haven’t been prolific in the cup so far this season.
Diego Simeone’s men have ground out narrow victories against lower league opposition in previous rounds. While they are likely to progress, another low-scoring affair could be on the cards against Getafe’s typically stubborn defense.
Recommended bet: Atletico to win and Under 3.5 goals @ 2.00
