La Liga
La Liga`s worst and best form teams will go head to head on Saturday as 19th-ranked Getafe welcome third-ranked Real Madrid to Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Getafe winless in 12
Getafe will need to break their 12-game winless run soon if they are to stand any chance of retaining their top-flight status for another year.
The Madrid-based club have drawn two and lost 10 of their last 12 and plummeted down the table as a result. Next up is a clash against the leagues current form team.
Getafe are unbeaten in two games at home, having drawn 1-1 in consecutive fixtures against Eibar and Sevilla. They come into this game on the back a 2-0 loss away to Villarreal. A win this weekend could lift them out of the bottom three.
Real Madrid on high after Euro exploits
Real Madrid will come into this match on a high after completing the `remontada` (comeback) in their midweek Champions League game against Wolfsburg.
Los Blancos have lost just one of their last 16 league games and have won the last six in a row. With Barcelona suffering a blip in form, Zinedine Zidane`s men are now just four points behind the leaders with six games left to play. In their last league outing, they cruised to a 4-0 win over Basque Country side Eibar.
Team news
The home side will be without Moi Gomez, Karim Yoda and Emiliano Velazquez.
