Getafe host Real Madrid in the Madrid derby on Matchday 9 of La Liga EA Sports. Bordalás' side, who have been sniffing around the European spots (W3, D2, L3), come into this game in a comfortable position in the table, sitting eleventh, two points behind sixth-placed Sevilla. However, Getafe's form does not invite optimism for this match; having gone four league games without a win (D2, L2), they do not exactly go into this one as favourites before even considering the opposition.
Real Madrid go into the game as leaders (W7, L1), and are two points clear of Barcelona, whom they host next week, so it is vital for Xabi Alonso's side to take three points to ensure they go into the Clasico in the lead. Moreover, after such a turbulent international break, it is important to get things back on track as soon as possible.

Mbappé again
The French striker is having a sensational start to the season, putting Real Madrid on his shoulders and leading Xabi Alonso's first season. The top scorer in La Liga so far, Mbappé has nine goals and two assists in eight league games and he has managed to contribute directly to a goal in all of Madrid's official matches this season except for Mallorca's 2-1 win at the Bernabéu. Moreover, the only time he faced Getafe at Madrid's home ground in La Liga last season, he also found the back of the net. The Frenchman has scored or assisted in 12 of his last 13 club and international matches.
Tip: Mbappé scores or assists - 1/2 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if Mbappé scores and/or assists in the match.
Less than three total goals
This bet seems more complex. It's true that six of Madrid's eight league games, including all four of their away games, have had three or more goals, but it's also true that all three of Getafe's home games have been below those figures and Bordalás and his men are very good at stifling Los Blancos' explosive attack, even if they often struggle to get a positive result against them. Indeed, 12 of the last 14 meetings between the two sides have produced fewer than 2.5 goals in total.
Tip: Under 2.5 goals - 10/11 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if there are two goals or fewer in total in the match.
Mauro Arambarri will shoot
Getafe's Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Arambarri is one of the team's best strikers. Often in charge of the set-piece, Arambarri also enjoys more freedom to get forward and attack late on. As such, we think it's an excellent idea to bet on him taking a shot sometime in the match, regardless of whether it's on target or not. He has done so in six of eight games, and the two league games in which he has failed to finish have been away from home.
Tip: Mauro Arambarri to have 1+ shot - 4/9 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if Arambarri takes a shot on goal, even if it is not on target, at least once in the match.
