The Spanish LaLiga looks tight after match week seven as Barcelona and Real Madrid sit joint top with nineteen points apiece after match week seven. Match week eight gets underway this weekend, and one of the rounds of matches sees Getafe play host to Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid side in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.

Real Madrid will be seeking to go ahead of their fiercest rival when they travel on the road to face Getafe. The visitors have shown promise this season so far, which has seen them being tagged as title contenders already early on this season. Madrid is in the best possible form they could have envisaged, as they head into this tie unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions, scoring goals from all angles while maintaining clean sheets in the process. In Europe, Real Madrid has maintained a 100% record so far in terms of wins against their opponents, and this has been largely propagated due to their wealth of young attacking talents, especially enigmatic forward V. Jnr, who has been on a different level this season, and who has been spearheading Madrid's attack in recent weeks.

Although Getafe recorded two wins against Real Sociedad and Osasuna before their defeat against Real Valladolid last weekend, they still are a far cry from where they had hoped to be this early this season. 14th in the log with just seven points after seven rounds of matches elucidates the precarious position the host is in, as they are short in confidence and precision, which will be of major concern to them when they welcome a bright Madrid side to their home ground. In this tie, we predict a difficult encounter for both teams, as a tie as this previously has always been a Lockhead between these two teams.

Coliseum Alfonso Perez, the home ground of the host, has always been a difficult ground to play whenever the visitors pay a visit. Last season saw Real Madrid succumb to a 1-0 defeat away from home the last term. However, this time, we highly predict a narrow win for the visitors. Real Madrid is arguably one of the most in-form teams in Europe's top five leagues, and a team lacking in confidence and conceding needless amounts of goals will not be able to stop the Party Carlo Ancelotti's men have been dreaming of.

In light of this, we expect the game to go to the wire as Getafe will be desperate to bring an end to their poor record this season. However, Real Madrid is a force to reckon with as they have been resilient and exciting at the back end and final third of the pitch. We predict a narrow win for Los Blancos to make seven wins from their last eight games.
