Barcelona vs Getafe form
The slow progress of the Camp Nou renovations has delayed the return to the biggest stage in Catalonia. However, having to play at the Johan Cruyff training ground, with a capacity of only 6,000 seats, has not diminished the strength of the Blaugrana.
The proof is that in the most recent round, coach Hansi Flick and his team crushed the visitors Valencia 6-0. That was also Barcelona's only home match since the beginning of the season.
In the remaining 4 matches, Pedri and his teammates had to travel to foreign lands. But with the strength of their top stars, Barca overcame many challenges and almost reached the perfect milestone.
Apart from a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano in round 3, the Catalan giants have won all of their home games, including visits to Mallorca (3-0), Levante (3-2) and Newcastle United (2-1).
In this round, Barcelona still need to continue to maintain their winning streak because in fact, on the La Liga rankings, they are still only in 2nd place, 2 points behind the top position held by their arch-rival Real Madrid. In the early match, Real will likely have 3 more points from hosting Espanyol.
Therefore, coach Hansi Flick and his players must maintain high concentration, if they do not want their opponents to increase the gap. The hard-fought draw against Vallecano or the sweat-filled victory at Levante are obvious lessons.
Last season, Getafe caused Barcelona a lot of trouble. In the first leg, the Madrid suburbs team only lost 0-1. Meanwhile, in the second leg at home, the team under coach Jose Bordalas forced Barca to accept a 1-1 draw.
The away team itself has also had a pretty impressive start. The achievement of earning 9 points after the first 4 rounds has helped Azulones get 5th place on the rankings, only behind the opponent Real Betis in the secondary parameters, but having played 2 fewer matches.
In addition, the physical factor can also be considered an advantage for the away team. Because while Milla, Liso, Mayoral... have a whole week to rest and prepare, their opponents have just returned to Spain after a difficult trip to the Northeast of England.
However, the gap between the two sides of the front line is still not easy to bridge. In the last 22 times visiting Barcelona, Getafe has not enjoyed a single victory, only drawing 4 and losing 18.
