Getafe made it five straight La Liga games without a defeat to escape the red zone. They will find it very difficult to maintain such a streak in the first game of the year as leaders Real Madrid come to visit Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday afternoon.

Los Blancos have been by far the best team in the league in the first half of the season. They are deservedly eight points clear at the top of the standings with a record of 14 wins, 4 draws, and 1 defeat in 19 games.

The team led by Carlo Ancelotti finished the last year with a narrow 1-2 victory away at Athletic Bilbao.

Karim Benzema ended his phenomenal year in style, bagging a brace inside the opening seven minutes of the affair at San Mames Barria.

The French forward is the competition’s top scorer with 15 goals to his name so far in the season.

For the sake of comparison, the entire Getafe team notched no more than 12 goals in the opening 18 outings of the campaign.

This record keeps Getafe as the worst attacking team in the division. Nevertheless, we have to admit that the hosts improved their defensive showings significantly following the arrival of Quique Sanchez Flores on the bench.

Azulones shipped just one goal in the last five league matches and they could be a tough nut to crack for table-toppers here

赫塔菲在西甲联赛中连续五场比赛没有失败，逃离了红区。他们将会发现在本年度的第一场比赛中很难保持这样的连胜，因为领头羊皇家马德里将在周日下午参观阿方索·佩雷斯体育馆。

在前半个赛季，白衣军团一直是联盟中最好的球队。他们在19场比赛中以14胜4平1负的成绩领先8分，稳居积分榜首位。

安切洛蒂带领的球队去年以1-2险胜毕尔巴鄂竞技队结束了比赛。

本泽马在圣马姆斯-巴里亚球场开场七分钟就攻入两球，结束了他非凡的一年。

这名法国前锋是本届世界杯的最佳射手，迄今为止他在本赛季打进了15个进球。

为了比较起见，整个赫塔菲队在赛季开始的18场比赛中只进了不超过12个球。

这个记录使赫塔菲成为联赛中进攻最差的球队。尽管如此，我们不得不承认，主队的防守在弗洛雷斯坐上替补席后明显改善了。

在过去的五场联赛中，阿苏洛内斯只进了一个球，他们可能是这里的榜首球队的一个难题
