Atleti, Absolute Dominator in the Derby
This Sunday, Atlético de Madrid visits Getafe in a Madrid derby with a clear trend favorable to the Rojiblancos in recent years. Since November 6, 2011, Atleti has remained undefeated against Getafe, accumulating 24 consecutive games without defeat in LaLiga, with an impressive record of 20 wins and 4 draws.
This historic streak is the longest for the Colchoneros against the same opponent in the top flight. In these 24 games, Atlético managed to string together 19 matches without conceding a single goal from Getafe, setting a historic LaLiga record for consecutive clean sheets between two teams.
While it is true that in the latest league encounters Getafe has managed to score, Atleti’s overall dominance remains evident. Looking beyond LaLiga, the last precedent between both teams was especially painful for Bordalás’ side.
After the defeat in the first leg league match and the resounding 5-0 in the Copa del Rey, Getafe could suffer three defeats against Atlético in the same season for the first time in its history. Simeone’s team will seek to extend their streak and reaffirm their superiority in this derby, offering the Rojiblanca fans a new joy.
