Real Madrid vs. Getafe prediction, odds, time: Top soccer expert ...

Real Madrid will look to keep pace with the top two teams on the table when they meet a desperate Getafe squad on Saturday in a key Spanish La Liga matchup in Madrid. Los Blancos (21-7-5) trail second-place Atletico Madrid by just one point on the table, while holding a seven-point cushion over fourth-place Real Sociedad. Barcelona remain entrenched in first place with 82 points, 14 clear of Real Madrid. Getafe (8-15-10), meanwhile, are trying to dig themselves out of a deep hole which sees them 18th on the table and a candidate for relegation. An upset win would go a long way towards the Azulones leaving the table's danger zone. With the second leg of their Champions League semifinal matchup coming next week, Real Madrid are expected to rest Karim Benzema and some other key players. 

The match from Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, kicks off at 3 p.m. ET.

Los Blancos return to La Liga action after a busy week which saw them come away with the Copa del Ray championship and a 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Real Madrid are clearly the superior side on paper, and even their depth pieces might have enough talent to earn a win.

Real Madrid would normally be an overwhelming favorite in this spot, but the circumstances give bettors a chance to wager on them as small favorites. Perhaps Getafe have the motivation to pull off the upset, but Real Madrid playing at home and looking to stay sharp for their big Champions League matchup offers some value. See who to back here.

Why you should back Getafe

The Azulones are in desperation mode and are trying to avoid relegation at all cost. They might be able to pick up some crucial points against a Real Madrid squad that has other things on their mind. Wednesday's win over Celta Vigo was the first for Getafe since March 19. Forward Enes Unal is a big chunk of Getafe's offense. In 33 La Liga starts, he has 14 goals and three assists on 80 shots, including 30 on target. He scored the game-winner on Wednesday, his first since a 2-0 win over Sevilla. The 26-year-old from Turkey is in his third season with Getafe and, in La Liga action, has 34 goals in 98 appearances for the Azulones.

Also helping Getafe is former Real Madrid forward Borja Mayoral, who is in his second year with the club. In 32 starts this season, Mayoral has eight goals and two assists on 45 shots, including 16 on target. He has goals in two of his last three starts, including one in a 2-1 loss to Almeria on April 26 and one in a 3-1 loss at Mallorca on April 23. In 50 career La Liga appearances with Getafe, he has 14 goals. See who to back here.
