Getafe saw their unbeaten streak of four games come to an end with a 0-2 loss to “Real Sociedad” in La Liga last weekend, leaving the team just three points above the relegation zone. Coach Kike Sanchez Flores quickly brushed off the defeat as coming from a “rival that is out of our reach,” but that is hardly encouraging news, as they are facing the league leader – a team that Flores has failed to beat in his last eight league games against them. Home fans may not hold out hope looking at this record or, for that matter, “Getafe’s” dreadfully low nine percent win rate in top-flight matches against “Barcelona.” Nonetheless, having won their last three league matches at the “Coliseum Alfonso Perez,” the hosts can hope to stand their ground this time. In 28 rounds of the current season, the capital team has seven wins and nine draws, which corresponds to 30 points and 15th place. Arambarri and Mata will not be able to take the football field due to a leg injury.
This could be a good time to face Barcelona, considering the visitors are on a winless streak of two games, in which they have failed to score. Coach Xavi downplayed the media frenzy over the ‘mini-crisis’, stating that ‘we are 13 points ahead of Real Madrid’ following their goalless draw with Girona last Monday. Nevertheless, as the league remains their only playing field this season, he wouldn’t want such minimal results. Returning to winning ways may start with defense, as Barcelona boasts the best defensive record in the league, highlighted by 21 clean sheets. This has played a role in tense matches that have altered the tournament standings, with six of their last nine away wins in the league being achieved by a 1-0 scoreline. After 28 rounds, the visitors have 23 wins and three draws, tallying 72 points and holding the top spot. Today, de Jong, Pedri, Dembele, and Christianen, who has a leg injury, will not be able to take the football field. More 8o prediction football win can be obtained from the link provided.
