Barcelona
Barcelona return from the international break in outstanding form, having won all seven of their La Liga matches this season. Hansi Flick's team sit comfortably at the top of the standings with 21 points, having already scored an extraordinary 31 goals while conceding just seven.
The Catalans have been particularly impressive going forward, combining their usual possession-based football with aggressive pressing and quick attacking transitions. Even when opponents manage to score, Barcelona generally have more than enough firepower to respond.
There are some selection problems ahead of this fixture. Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen, Roony Bardghji and Raphinha are unavailable, while Joan García and Eric García are fitness doubts. Nevertheless, Flick can still rely on several dangerous attacking players, including Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon and Gabriel Jesus.
Getafe
Getafe have experienced a more difficult start to the campaign, collecting eight points from their opening seven matches. José Bordalás' side occupy 11th position and face an enormous challenge against the league leaders.
The visitors are expected to adopt a disciplined defensive approach, attempting to frustrate Barcelona and limit the space available between the lines. However, maintaining that organisation against such an effective attacking team will be extremely difficult.
Getafe also have selection concerns, with Juanmi and Christantus Uche unavailable. Abdel Abqar and Kiko Femenía are doubts, potentially limiting Bordalás' defensive options.
Betting Verdict
Barcelona are overwhelming favourites, and it is difficult to imagine Getafe stopping their remarkable winning run.
However, the straight home victory is unlikely to offer particularly attractive odds. A better approach could be backing Barcelona to Score Over 3 Team Goals, considering their extraordinary attacking statistics.
The hosts are averaging more than four goals per league match, and their attacking depth remains impressive despite several injuries. Getafe may initially make things difficult, but Barcelona should create enough opportunities to score at least three times.
