Football Results

The current European champion Real Madrid, is opening the championship with a duel against their city rival Getafe. The season has already started for Real with the match in the European Super Cup, where they did not celebrate, so their great city rival Atletico won the trophy, while Getafe has only one goal before this new season, which is to repeat the result from last season in La Liga, which they ended in eighth place. Real has celebrated in both mutual duels last season, but Getafe managed to score a goal in both bouts.

Real Madrid

Real was without a domestic trophy last season, and while they will somehow manage to forget about the failure in the Cup, the fact that they had to give up on the title of the champion to Barcelona is much more painful. They found comfort in the Champions League, which they won again, and they really set standards that would be hard to reach. The start of the new season brought them the match in the European Super Cup, but they also failed to win that trophy again, and so the other bitter rival, Atletico, has taken that trophy to their showcases.

It was the first competition match for the new coach Lopetegui, but also the first match without Ronaldo, who left them this summer. It did not go well and they were playing especially bad in their defence, which did not experience any changes, so that was not expected. Ronaldo’s absence was not felt very match in attack, and it should be said that the whole match was not played by Modric, who is still in the right form. It is possible that he will not start the match now, which means that the team will be the same as against Athletic.

Probable lineups Real Madrid: Navas – Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo – Casemiro, T.Kroos, Isco – Asensio, Benzema, Bale

Getafe

Getafe needed only three points for placement in Europa League, which by itself shows just how successful the comeback season was for this team from Madrid. No one has hoped for that, but there were no big oscillations, with the fact that they played the best in the finals of the season, when they got to the position they eventually won. It might be too much to expect the same placement in the new championship, but they hope they will not even have to fight for survival.

There were changes in the composition this summer, although it should be said that some of the loans from various clubs expired. Some departures were compensated adequately, so new goalkeeper instead of Guaita is Soria from Sevilla, and the new striker is J.Mata, who has returned from Valladolid. Their reinforcement is certainly midfielder Maksimovic, and among others there are aslo center-backs Miquel and Alanis, and the right back Alejo. Midfielder Bergara is injured and will not play, while Soria, Maksimovic and J.Mata should be on the field in this match.

Probable lineups Getafe: Soria – D.Suarez, Djene, Bruno, Antunes – Portillo, Maksimovic, Arambarri, Ndiaye – J.Mata, Angel

Verdict:

The Super Cup match has shown that Real's defence is very vulnerable and even a weaker rival such as Getafe might use it to their benefit, but they will certainly have a hard time to resist Real’s attacks and that only means that this match should abound with goals.
