Prediction published on 21/01/2023, 18:15  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Barcelona’s last defeat was in October in the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich. They’ve gone undefeated in 10 matches since that loss and will hope to extend the same when they play host to Getafe. Barcelona go into this game topping the league standings with 41 points while Getafe are 16th with 17 points. Barcelona are coming from a 5-0 win over Ceuta in the Copa del Rey, their fourth win in five matches and they are still fresh from their win over Real Madrid in the Super Cup final. In four of their last five matches, Barcelona have managed two score two or more goals. Robert Lewandowski has scored four times in the last three matches, but he won’t have the chance to extend the same here. The Polish forward, along with Ferran Torres are suspended for this game. In league action, Barcelona are unbeaten in seven, winning six and keeping five clean sheets. In the last five home league matches they have four wins and three clean sheets.

Getafe on their part, are coming into this game on three straight losses and the only thing keeping them out of the relegation zone is a superior goal difference. They won’t worry about dropping into the red zone for now, as their direct competitors lost their recent outings. Getafe would wish to take advantage of that to open up a gap but Barcelona are too strong. Getafe have scored in each of their last six matches, managing two or more goals in four of six games. In their 17 league matches so far, Getafe have managed just four wins and in their last three matches, they have conceded two or more goals. The visitors have lost three of their last five league matches, winning just once in the five.
