Barcelona will be eager to get back to winning form in La Liga as they travel to the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday evening to face a Getafe side currently lingering near the lower end of the league standings.
Getafe are striving to distance themselves from the relegation zone, sitting just three points above the drop. With momentum on their side, Jose Bordalas' men have secured three consecutive victories across all competitions.
Among those wins was a 2-1 triumph over Las Palmas, followed by a narrow 1-0 success against Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey. Although they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Mallorca in their last home outing, Getafe have demonstrated resilience at the Estadio Coliseum, remaining unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches there, including five draws.
Meanwhile, Barcelona enter this contest off the back of a fantastic week, having defeated Real Madrid 5-2 to claim the Spanish Super Cup and dismantled Real Betis 5-1 in the Copa del Rey. Manager Hansi Flick will hope these results can reignite their La Liga campaign, which has been far from smooth sailing.
In recent league outings, Barcelona have managed just one victory from their last seven matches. However, their away form offers some encouragement, with the Catalan giants unbeaten in six of their last seven road games, even though two of their last three ended in stalemates.
