Match Overview
Defending champions Barcelona begin their defence of the La Liga by taking on Getafe in the first round of the new season on Sunday by travelling to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Getafe will want to upset the giants by putting up a strong defensive line, but it is much easier said than done. Barcelona's attackers are not going to be foxed that easily.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of 26 games recorded between these two teams, out of which the home team have won just two. Barcelona have been victorious on nineteen occasions while the rest of the five matches have been played out as drawn encounters. However, nothing could separate the two teams when they last met in April earlier this year.
Injury Report
Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla and Enes Unal are among some of the players of Getafe who will not be available for selection in this game. Barcelona, for their part, will have to make do without the services of Ferran Torres, who has been suspended.
Prediction
Barcelona are the downright favourites to win this game. We expect them to either win or draw this game. Getafe have no chance whatsoever to withstand the onslaught that they are about to receive from Barcelona. Despite coming into this game on the back of a nice 4-1 victory over Vitesse, Getafe do not really stand a good chance of keeping Barcelona at bay.
