With nine wins from their last 11 home matches in La Liga, Barcelona have proven themselves to be a dominant force on their own turf, a trend they’ll need to maintain to strengthen their push for the top. On the other hand, Getafe are fighting to avoid relegation, which is understandable given they’ve lost nine of their last 13 games.
Based on Barcelona’s recent home performances, it would be unexpected to see more than three goals in this match. In fact, 16 of their last 19 home games have ended with fewer than 3.5 goals. Similarly, 14 of Getafe’s last 16 matches in La Liga have followed the same pattern, indicating a likely low-scoring affair.
In addition, Barcelona have kept a clean sheet in their last five La Liga games, and Getafe have failed to score in each of their last three away matches, suggesting this trend might continue.
Prediction
Barcelona have been in excellent form, winning 14 of their last 16 league games, including a five-match winning streak. Getafe, meanwhile, have struggled on the road, losing six of their last eight away games in La Liga, including a defeat in this fixture.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Getafe
