Camp Nou (Barcelona), Spain

Barcelona
Barcelona have made a confident start to the season, and their temporary home at the Estadi Johan Cruyff already looks like a fortress after a commanding 6-0 win over Valencia in their first “home” outing. That victory highlighted the attacking firepower at Xavi’s disposal, and the momentum only grew stronger following their impressive 2-1 triumph away to Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League during midweek. Confidence is clearly running high, and Barça’s record of ten wins from their last 12 home league games underlines their dominance in front of their fans.
The attacking balance looks sharp, with new arrivals and experienced stars combining effectively. Marcus Rashford has been especially decisive, consistently contributing goals and assists. With the team scoring heavily, particularly in second halves, Barcelona’s offensive depth could once again be the key to breaking down Getafe.
Getafe
Getafe travel to Catalonia in high spirits after making their best-ever start to a La Liga campaign, collecting nine points from their first four matches. Their 2-0 victory over Oviedo last weekend showed that they can grind out results while maintaining attacking efficiency, with all three of their league wins featuring exactly two goals scored. That clinical edge, paired with José Bordalás’ tactical discipline, has made them a tricky opponent early on.
However, history doesn’t favour them in this fixture. Getafe have never won an away league match against Barcelona, and their manager’s record against the Catalan giants is poor, with just one victory from 14 encounters. Although the visitors have enjoyed extra rest compared to Barcelona, they will need more than fresh legs to challenge a side that has conceded just once across the last seven H2Hs.
The Betting Verdict
While Getafe’s start deserves respect, Barcelona’s overall quality, form, and attacking firepower make them strong favourites to secure another win. The Catalans tend to start matches quickly at home, and with Getafe struggling historically in this fixture, the momentum is clearly in Barça’s favour. The hosts should take control early and maintain their dominance throughout, making the Half-Time/Full-Time (1/1) market the most appealing betting angle.
