Getafe vs Barcelona: LaLiga match preview

Following the conclusion of the international break, Barcelona return to LaLiga action with a visit to Getafe - a side who haven’t beaten the Blaugrana in nearly a decade.

Not since November 2011, when a Juan Valera strike gave Getafe a 1-0 league victory at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, have Los Azulones beaten Barça in any competition.

The Catalans have made a promising start to the 2020/21 LaLiga campaign under new head coach Ronald Koeman, easing past Villarreal and Celta Vigo before playing out a stalemate with Europa League winners Sevilla.

Their return of two wins and a draw has left them in fifth place, three points off leaders Real Madrid but with a game in hand, having begun their top-flight campaign two weeks late because of their involvement in last term’s Champions League quarter-finals.

After also taking seven points from their opening three LaLiga games, meanwhile, seventh-placed Getafe fell to their first defeat of the season last time out, losing 3-0 to Real Sociedad.
