Simeone, before his fetish rival to try to finish 2020 leader

EI Atlético is looking for a victory against Getafe to end 2020 in style. A victory that would maintain the leadership and that would consolidate the rojiblanca superiority against the favorite rival for Simeone. The azulones have not managed to dismantle the Cholo team over the years and in their 17 matches they have always left their scoreboard at zero. No goal in front of Courtois, Moyá ni Oblak and some catastrophic results before the last of the shoe of the team led by Bordalás.

Simeone has managed to reduce the many virtues of Getafe and exploit its defects for some overwhelming results so far. A total of 15 wins and two goalless draws, one of them in Copa del Rey who served to advance phase after the 3-0 victory in the first leg and scoring figures that speak for themselves: 33 goals for (1.9 per game) for none against. In League, Atlético has added 43 points out of 45 possible with Cholo on the bench since the second leg of the 2011-12 season.

The rojiblanco team has achieved goals like 7-0 of the 2013-14 season, that of the title and has had its most common result in 2-0, repeated eight times. The last one, on matchday 37 of last season, when Atlético, with the Champions places secured, took all three points from the Coliseum thanks to goals from Marcos Llorente and Thomas. A very painful defeat for Getafe, which one day later would end up seeing the European positions slip away and make them the team that more times he has succumbed to Simeone along with Athletic, although in the Bilbao case it has been in 20 meetings and reaping two defeats.

Of course, despite the mattress superiority, Simeone does not want any extra confidence. Getafe visits the Metropolitan Wanda with doubts, twelfths in the League and with the losses of Damian, Nyom and Cabaco in the defensive sector. But that is what can make the azulón team more dangerous, the need for points to avoid getting into trouble and look back at positions of honor. Atlético does not go from match to match, but is aware that a win at the next one would ensure a happy New Year for his fans.
