Barcelona v Getafe

Barcelona vs Getafe Preview

Barcelona registered a sixth consecutive win on the trot in the Spanish top flight on the weekend when they recorded a comprehensive 5-1 thrashing of Villarreal and the hosts will be seeking another three points here on Wednesday night, while Getafe's winless start to the new La Liga season was extended to six games and further trouble could be waiting just around the corner for the visitors as they now face the current league leaders.

Barcelona sit top of the La Liga table having collected six wins on the trot which have come in the form of victories against Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano, Real Valladolid, Girona and Villarreal respectively, and even more impressive is the fact that Barcelona have also plundered a total of 22 goals within these six games.

Indeed, Hans Flick's side have won their last 10 league matches on the trot in the Spanish top flight and this impressive sequence of results places the hosts in a very strong position ahead of this upcoming clash against Getafe.

In addition, Barcelona are unbeaten in their previous 10 home games at their Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, picking up nine wins and a draw along with keeping a total of seven clean sheets, so the hosts look to be in the box seat for this upcoming encounter.

Getafe gained a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Leganes on the weekend but this was scant reward in what has been a disastrous start for the visitors as they have now failed to win any of their opening six games of the new campaign, slipping to two defeats and being involved in four draws.

The wider picture shows Getafe have now failed to win any of their previous 11 matches overall in the domestic top flight and having been handed seven defeats within this period, Jose Bordalas' side look to have their work cut out when they make their way to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

The visitors have managed to capture just two wins within their last 20 matches overall in La Liga which came in the shape of victories against Girona and Almeria but also includes slipping to 10 defeats which makes them overwhelming underdogs against the league leaders.

Results away from home have also been poor from Getafe's perspective as the visitors have collected just three wins from their last 35 outings on the road which is another damning reason why Barcelona are priced as outright favourites for this upcoming encounter.

Barcelona v Getafe Verdict

Interestingly, each of the last five meetings between Barcelona and Getafe have resulted in only one or no team scoring while Barcelona have picked up two wins within these games as well, so a home win with a clean sheet looks favourite here.
