Getafe vs Barcelona Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th August 2023

Barcelona open a new La Liga campaign when taking on Getafe on Sunday. On paper, this should be a good match to ease into the new season at Coliseum Alfonso Perez for the defending champions. However, in front of a boisterous crowd, the home side will be eager to cause an upset against the favourites.

They finished up last season as number 15, and Getafe now prepares to take on Barcelona. The latter finished as number one in the La Liga.

The last time Getafe played Barcelona, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Sunday.

Getafe are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net seven times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.7 goals per game, as they conceded nine goals. They managed four clean sheets in these matches.

When it comes to goal-scoring Barcelona are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 17 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.7 goals per game. They conceded 11 goals for an average of 1.1 a game, achieving a clean sheet in five of these matches.

Getafe and Barcelona had to settle for a point each in their most recent match, which finished with a 0-0 scoreline. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 3/1.

Getafe vs Barcelona Prediction

Getafe Form

Getafe collected seven points from their last three matches, as they ran out 0-1 and 2-1 winners against Real Betis and Osasuna, respectively. Against Real Valladolid, they had to settle for a draw after a 0-0 draw. Getafe won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the La Liga, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored seven and conceded four goals.

A top half finish is the dream for Getafe, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the La Liga.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona are inconsistent at the moment, with two defeats and a win to show from their last three matches. They lost 3-1 against Real Valladolid, won 3-0 against Mallorca, before dropping points again in a 2-1 defeat against Celta Vigo. Barcelona, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the La Liga.

Defending champion Barcelona are understandably favourites to claim the title again, and they will be motivated to get a good start of the season.

Getafe are really tough to break down, but as the expense of scoring only few goals themselves. A low scoring encounter is on the menu on Sunday, when Barcelona come visiting.
