Real Madrid resume their LaLiga title charge following the winter break this weekend with a short trip to face local rivals Getafe.

Date: Saturday January 4th, 2020

Venue: Coliseum Alfonso Perez​, Getafe

Kick-off time: 3pm GMT

Prediction: Getafe 1-2 Real Madrid

Real Madrid trail Barcelona by two points at the summit and will want to make sure they - at least temporarily - leapfrog their rivals, who contest a local derby of their own against Espanyol later on Saturday evening.

Three successive draws against Valencia, Barca and Athletic Club somewhat disrupted Los Blancos' momentum before Christmas and they will face another stern test against a strong Getafe team that currently sit only two points adrift of fourth-placed Atletico Madrid in sixth.

Expect Zinedine Zidane's men to claim a narrow victory in a competitive affair.
