Barcelona
The Catalans have made a resounding start to the La Liga season, showcasing impeccable form. Six consecutive victories have allowed the Blaugrana to create a four-point cushion over Real Madrid. In their latest outing, Barcelona obliterated Villarreal away from home with a scoreline of 5-1. However, this triumph came at a significant cost, as first-choice goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, potentially impacting the team's dynamics.
Despite the absence of their key goalkeeper, the attacking prowess of Xavi's side remains formidable. In matches against lower-ranked opponents, ter Stegen's absence is unlikely to severely affect results; however, encounters with more formidable adversaries could pose challenges. It is also worth noting that Barcelona unexpectedly lost to Monaco in the Champions League away, succumbing 1-2.
Getafe
The "City team" has faced substantial difficulties at the season's outset, currently positioned third from the bottom with a mere four points after six rounds. Under the guidance of José Bordalás, they have yet to secure a single victory, and their attacking unit has proven one of the league's most problematic, managing only three goals in six matches.
However, there is a glimmer of hope: in their most recent match against Leganés, key striker Borja Mayoral returned from injury, making an impact by scoring after coming on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw. Nevertheless, Getafe still does not appear to be a threat to the top four teams.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Torres; Lewandowski
Getafe possible starting lineup:
Soria; Iglesias, Djene, Berrocal, Alderete, Rico; Perez, Uche, Milla, Sola; Mayoral
Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Getafe
Getafe are usually a tough side to break down due to their steely defence, but we think their backline may struggle to cope with Barcelona's attacking firepower, especially as the hosts have scored 16 goals across their last three league outings.
