With nine victories in their last 11 home games in La Liga, Barcelona have shown they are a formidable force at home, a pattern they’ll need to continue if they want to keep pushing for the top of the table.
In contrast, Getafe are battling to avoid relegation, which isn’t surprising given they’ve lost nine of their last 13 matches.
Looking at Barcelona’s recent home performances, it’s unlikely that this game will see more than three goals. In fact, 16 of their last 19 home games have ended with under 3.5 goals. A similar trend is evident with Getafe, as 14 of their last 16 La Liga matches have also featured fewer than 3.5 goals, indicating a probable low-scoring encounter.
Furthermore, Barcelona have kept clean sheets in their last five La Liga games, while Getafe have failed to score in their last three away fixtures, suggesting this trend may continue.
Prediction
Barcelona have been in great form, winning 14 of their last 16 league games, including a streak of five consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Getafe have struggled away from home, losing six of their last eight away games, including a defeat in this exact fixture.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Getafe
