Real Madrid can take a big step towards the La Liga title when they host Getafe in Thursday’s 9pm kick-off.
Los Blancos have the opportunity to go four points clear at the top of the table with five games remaining after local rivals Atletico Madrid did them a big favour by drawing 2-2 with second-placed Barcelona on Tuesday night.
It was Barcelona‘s second consecutive 2-2 draw which, combined with Real Madrid’s winning run since La Liga returned, has turned the title race in Los Blancos’ favour.
Up next for Real are fifth-placed Getafe, who are looking to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Getafe are currently five points behind Sevilla in fourth but have a game in hand over the Andalusians. However, to close that gap they will need to do something they haven’t done in 12 games: beat Real Madrid.
