Atletico Madrid
There will be fireworks when Getafe and Atletico Madrid face each other in the season-opening Madrid derby. Los Azulones were anything but impressive in the 2021/2022 La Liga campaign, and, no doubt, they are eyeing a top-ten finish this time out. While there are no injury worries in the home team, summer signing Domingos Duarte is likely to make his La Liga debut with Getafe, as well as Luis Milla and Jaime Seoane.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, kick off the new Primera Division season without Luis Suarez, who returned to his boyhood club Nacional. The club chiefs have signed the likes of Nahuel Molina, Samuel Lino, and Axel Witsel in the summer transfer window, while both Alvaro Morata and Saul Niguez are back to the squad after ending their loan spells with Juventus and Chelsea. Anyhow, when Getafe and Atletico Madrid face each other in La Liga a low-scoring affair is guaranteed; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals.
Highlighted Player (Djené):
A central defender who can equally be deployed as a right-back, Djene Dakonam has emerged as one of the most influential Getafe players in the 2017/18 season. His road to prominence was a long one, however, and Djene had to bide his time in order to be recognized for quality he undoubtedly possesses. Dapaong-born Togolese international, Djene Dakonam made his first football steps as a youth member of Etoile Filante.
Spells in Benin and Cameroon with Tonnerre d’Abomey and Coton Sport, respectively, saw Djene Dakonam grab attention of Alcoron, who moved in to bring him to Spain in 2014. During two years in Spain Djene Dakonam made 59 league appearances before moving to Sint-Truidense. It was in Belgium that Djene Dakonam proved his defensive versatility and Getafe came calling the very next year, in 2017.
Djene proved to be an instant hit with the Azulones and is hoping a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs will not be too far away for him. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham have been sniffing around him during the summer transfer window in 2018 but were ultimately scared off by his £31 million release clause.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
