Managers' quotes

Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid): "There are many casualties, but these are not excuses. There are difficulties that come, and there are many games. We need to recover our players as soon as possible. We want to continue recovering our strength and energy."

Jorge Bordalas (Getafe): "Real Madrid are a great team, you always expect their best version. They have a very large squad. Injuries are setbacks for any coach but Madrid have enormous potential and a wonderful coach."

Predictions

SportsMole's Matt Law: Real Madrid 1-0 Getafe

"The fact that Madrid will be missing so many key players for this match means that Getafe will be eyeing a shock result, but the visitors are not currently in the best of form. We are expecting a tight and cagey affair in the Spanish capital but believe that Zidane's side will just have enough to pick up an important three points."

La Liga Expert's Mark Sochon: Real Madrid 2-1 Getafe

"With this many players missing, Getafe might have really fancied their chances in this match, were this last season or any of the previous two. However, they aren’t operating on the same level right now and this is still a match Los Blancos ought to end up winning even with their multitude of absentees."
