However, the Mattress Makers are undefeated in their last 19 home matches in the league having registered 18 victories and one draw at the Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano.
Meanwhile, Getafe thrashed Sevilla FC 3-0 away on 16 December and they are undefeated in their last two matches in La Liga.
The win over Sevilla snapped the Deep Blue Ones' nine-match winless run on the road in the league having registered four defeats and five draws.
Team News
Pablo Barrios and Thomas Lemar remain the only Atletico players who are out injured at the moment, but the club has no suspension concerns.
Getafe, on the other hand, will be without the suspended duo of Jaime Mata and Domingos Duarte while Enes Unal and Mauro Arambarri are out injured.
Quotes
“We are not being strong away from home and it is something that is now repeated in three games in a row," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their loss to Bilbao.
"So we will surely have to try to improve that very important part of the team, since obviously for the regularity of a tournament, home games are as fundamental as away games.
“At all times they [Bilbao] were better in anything that we can study from the first half. They were superior and we could not play the game we imagined.”
Head-to-Head
Atletico and Getafe played to a 1-1 draw in their last La Liga meeting which took place at the Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano on 4 February 2023.
The win extended the Mattress Makers' unbeaten run to 21 league matches against Deep Blue Ones having recorded three draws and 18 wins.
