It's a bit chilly in Madrid today, at least by their standards, while Real Madrid are missing a couple of their big stars. Getafe don't usually enjoy great home support, but the crowd should be top-notch for a match against their cross-town rivals. Madrid are very much expected to win comfortably and put Barcelona in another must-win situation to keep pace in La Liga, but a derby in bad weather without Sami Khedira and Angel di Maria won't be a walkover. The good news for Jose Mourinho is that Getafe is missing some first choice players as well, and their team looks a bit makeshift.
