Barcelona will be looking to extend their unbeaten start in La Liga and keep close to league leaders Real Madrid, but they will have to go past Getafe, who are enjoying their best-ever league start.
Barcelona Team News
Despite being undefeated, Barcelona lies second behind arch-rivals Real Madrid. The reason for that is the 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano that the Blaugrana recorded, whilst Los Blancos are 4 out of 4 and with the highest possible point tally. Except for the Rayo game, Barcelona has managed to score at least 3 goals per game in all of their other league matches thus far. Whilst the attack certainly seems more than capable, the defence looks liable to concede the occasional goal. Still, Hansi Flick and his men will attempt to prolong their feel-good factor with yet another win, after starting their UCL campaign with a win against Newcastle United.
Getafe CF Team News
Getafe’s start to the season has been nothing short of exceptional, to the point that this is actually the team’s best-ever start to a La Liga campaign. Three wins and a loss put the team in 6th place heading into matchday 5. The team has also managed to keep 2 clean sheets, which is more than commendable. For their trip to Estadi Johan Cruyff, Getafe will also boast one key advantage – a physical one. Due to Barcelona’s UCL obligations, Getafe will have more time to prepare and will be less affected by fatigue, but boss José Bordalás will be wary of this fixture as he has lost 10 of his 14 matches against Blaugrana.
Head-to-Head-Games
Barcelona have an advantage in the H2H against Getafe, unsurprisingly, but Azulones managed to put up a decent fight more than once. Blaugrana have won 2 of the last 5 meetings with Getafe, with the remaining ending as stalemates. As hosts, Barcelona have won their last 5 matches against Getafe, with 3 of them producing over 2.5 goals.

Barcelona vs Getafe CF Betting Prediction
My pick here is for Barcelona to win and the game to feature over 2.5 goals. Blaugrana have proven to be effective in attack and will not miss the chance to secure another 3 points and keep the distance with Real as slim as possible. Despite Getafe’s commendable performance and tendency to put up a decent fight, I do not expect them to get anything out of this match, but fully foresee them making things difficult for Barcelona.
