The 2025-26 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Barcelona vs Getafe Preview
Getafe are currently in fifth place in the La Liga standings and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The away side eased past Real Oviedo by a 2-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive over the past year. The Catalan giants edged Newcastle United to a narrow 2-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
