Barcelona are hoping to win again following a 1-5 La Liga success against Villarreal.

In that game, Barcelona managed 64% possession and 17 shots at goal with 10 of them on target. For Barcelona, the scorers were Robert Lewandowski (20', 35'), Pablo Torre (58') and Raphinha (74', 83'). At the other end, Villarreal had 13 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Ayoze Pérez (38') scored for Villarreal.

Barcelona have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, netting in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

They’ve managed to rack up 19 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 6.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Barcelona:

• haven't lost in the league to Getafe in their last 7 matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches at home. It's been impressive.

Getafe

DDDLLD 📉

In their previous fixture, Getafe drew 1-1 in the La Liga match with Leganés.

In that match, Getafe had 59% possession and 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Getafe was Borja Mayoral (83'). On the other side, Leganes got 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Jorge Sáenz (76') scored for Leganés.

The attacking players from Getafe have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 games, netting the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those matches, Azulones have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 5. That kind of pattern might not be continued here, though.

Going into this one, Getafe are without a win away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

A look at their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 29/08/2021 shows that Barcelona have won 3 of them & Getafe 0, with the number of drawn results being 3.

An aggregate of 8 goals were produced between them in this period, with 7 for Barça and 1 coming from Azulones. The average goals per game has been 1.33.

The last league encounter featuring the two was La Liga match day 26 on 24/02/2024 which ended up with the score at Barcelona 4-0 Getafe.

That time, Barcelona managed 67% possession and 16 shots at goal with 8 on target. Goals were scored by Raphinha (20'), João Félix (53'), Frenkie de Jong (61') and Fermín López (91').

Getafe had 10 shots on goal with 4 on target.

The referee was Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz.

🗞️ Team News: Barcelona

Dani Olmo (Muscle injury), Frenkie de Jong (Ankle injury), Fermín López (Muscle injury), Gavi (Cruciate ligament tear), Ronald Araujo (Hamstring injury), Andreas Christensen (Achilles tendon irritation), Marc-André ter Stegen (Patellar tendon rupture) and Marc Bernal (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Barcelona gaffer Hansi Flick.

It looks as if Barça could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Inaki Pena, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Alex Balde, Marc Casado, Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal, Pablo Torre, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

📋 Team News: Getafe

From a largely full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Getafe boss José Bordalás to be concerned with. Álvaro Rodríguez (ankle sprain) won’t be in action.

We reckon that Azulones seem likely to begin the game with a 4-4-1-1 formation by sending out David Soria, Juan Iglesias, Djene, Omar Alderete, Juan Berrocal, Carles Perez, Luis Milla, Jesus Santiago, Alex Sola, Carles Alena and Chrisantus Uche.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Barcelona have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the same time, Getafe will not find it easy to find the back of the net but we can see them converting at least once.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Barcelona at the end of this one.
