H2H: Getafe vs Barcelona – Result Prediction (La Liga

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Ángel Rodríguez recorded Getafe’s only goal in their last encounter with Barcelona. Meanwhile, Ansu Fati remains the only player to score for Barcelona in two 2020/21 LL fixtures, opening the scoring on both occasions. The away side on the day hasn’t scored before HT in any of Getafe’s last ten LL matches. However, Barcelona have done so in their last five LL away fixtures.

Getafe Insights.

Getafe continue to enjoy their equal-best start to a La Liga (LL) season of the last decade, despite losing 3-0 at Real Sociedad – their seventh consecutive LL game across two seasons in which only one or neither team scored. Their unbeaten start to their home LL campaign, in which they have won-to-nil twice, threatens to come to an abrupt end lest Getafe immediately begin correcting some miserable recent history against Barcelona. Getafe haven’t defeated Barcelona in LL at any venue since 2011/12 (D3, L12), shipping margins of at least two goals in nine of those 12 defeats, while registering HT/FT losses in three of their last four LL H2Hs at home.

Barcelona Insights.

The domestic juggernaut that is Barcelona continues to dominate away from home, remaining undefeated in seven LL away trips (W5, D2) since the last El Clásico. Most impressively, all but one of those five victories have been accompanied by a clean sheet and/or by a margin of at least three goals. They were at their most dangerous either side of the HT break in the 2019/20 season, accruing a commanding aggregate score of 37-6 in the 15 minutes before and after HT. Having opened up this LL season with three goals ‘to nil’ in that same period, whilst taking on an opposition who have done the same, this 30-minute period appears to be the most crucial and exciting third of the contest.
