An incredible comeback against Sevilla last Sunday sees Madrid now just 3 points behind leaders Barcelona, with a game in hand. Back-to-back home games and three on the bounce across all competitions provide the perfect environment for Atléti to extend their phenomenal run of results and retain pressure on the title chase.

Atlético Madrid welcome a struggling Getafe side to the Metropolitano in scintillating form on a 10-game win streak in all competitions. Not only that, but they have not lost at home in the league this year, displaying component attack coupled with resolute defence. Scoring at an average of 2.25 per game, conceding just 0.75 in the league, only rivals Real Madrid have won more points at home than Atléti across 8 home games this season.

Languishing down in 15th, new manager, Jose Bordalas seems no closer to returning his Getafe side to the heights of their best-ever finish of 5th place in 2019. Displaying completely mixed results from their home and away performances, their travels make Sunday’s task the more daunting. Scoring just 0.43 goals a game on the road, they struggle to penetrate teams on their travels and with a defence conceding 1.29, Getafe have won just 2 of their 16 league points on the road.

The challenge awaiting Getafe in Sunday’s clash against Atlético Madrid becomes even more daunting when considering their dismal historical record. Getafe’s last victory over Atlético dates back to 2011, with the club failing in 27 consecutive attempts since. Adding to the uphill battle, Getafe have not triumphed at the Metropolitano since 2005, highlighting the enduring difficulty they face in this fixture.

While Paris Saint-Germain may not appear as dominant as last season, they remain firmly atop the Ligue 1 table heading into Round 15, boasting the league’s most potent attack and best defence. As the considerable favourites to extend their unbeaten run in the league, PSG will aim to capitalise on their formidable home form at the Parc des Princes.

No team has yet managed to defeat PSG this season, and their performances on home turf have been especially commanding. Averaging 3 goals per game while conceding just 0.71, PSG’s only blemish at the Parc des Princes is a recent draw against Nantes. Despite that minor setback, they remain an overwhelming force at home, combining relentless attacking power with defensive solidity.

Lyon, meanwhile, sit 9 points adrift but enter this fixture in strong form, particularly on the road. They are unbeaten in their last 9 away matches, winning 5 of them. However, they are yet to encounter a side with PSG’s level of firepower and defensive organisation. Lyon’s struggles against teams with strong backlines, such as Lens and Lille, underscore the challenge they face against the Parisians.

The recent history between these sides further tilts the balance in PSG’s favour, with the last 3 encounters all going the way of the Ligue 1 leaders. As Lyon looks to extend their unbeaten streak, PSG’s imperious home record and superior firepower could prove too much for the visitors to overcome.
