Key Battle: Barcelona's Attack vs Getafe's Low Block

Barcelona average more than four goals per game this season. Lamine Yamal is the main creative threat, while Pedri controls the tempo from midfield. Getafe, however, are experts at slowing games down. They defend deep, commit fouls in midfield and try to frustrate opponents. If Barcelona score early, the game should open up. Otherwise, it could be a patient afternoon for the home side.

What to Expect at Camp Nou

Expect Barcelona to keep the ball for long spells and attack mainly down the right through Yamal. Getafe will sit in a compact shape and look for set pieces and long balls. Cards are likely, because Getafe commit plenty of fouls against bigger teams. Meanwhile, the home crowd will expect Barcelona to stretch their winning run to eight games. For that reason, the first half hour is crucial.
