Barcelona are back in action with another La Liga match this weekend as they take on Getafe at the Camp Noy on Sunday. Barcelona have been fairly impressive over the past month and will want to win this game.
Getafe finished in 15th place in the La Liga standings last season and have plenty of work to do this year. The Madrid-based outfit has troubled Barcelona in the past and will want to take something away from this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are still coping with life without Lionel Messi and will need to find their feet this season. The Catalans were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Athletic Bilbao in their previous game and will want to return to winning ways this weekend.
Barcelona vs Getafe Head-to-Head
Barcelona have an impeccable record against Getafe and have won 26 out of 36 matches played between the two teams. Getafe have managed four victories against Barcelona and will need to step up this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in April this year and ended in a 5-2 victory for Barcelona. Getafe were poor on the day and will need to be more robust to stand a chance in this fixture.

Barcelona vs Getafe Prediction
Barcelona have a mountain to climb this season and will need to hit their stride to reclaim the La Liga crown. The Catalans have been impressive under Ronald Koeman but have been plagued by bouts of inconsistency in the league.
Getafe are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset and will likely employ a deep block at the Camp Nou. Barcelona are the better team on paper, however, and hold the upper hand this weekend.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Getafe
