FC Barcelona vs Getafe Preview
FC Barcelona
The injury list in Hansi Flick’s camp continues to grow. While Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Marc Bartra made headlines earlier this season due to their injuries, another long-term casualty has joined Barcelona’s roster of sidelined players.
Captain Marc-André ter Stegen injured his knee, with club reports confirming a rupture that required surgery. The goalkeeper is expected to be out for at least 7 months, possibly up to a year. At 33, this could potentially be a career-ending setback.

Iñaki Peña, Barcelona’s second-choice goalkeeper, failed to impress in his previous opportunities. At 25, this may be his final chance at the club to address his apparent shakiness and uncertainty.
Barcelona’s 5-1 victory against Villarreal, despite the shock of ter Stegen’s injury, marked their sixth consecutive win in La Liga.
While domestic form is strong, Barcelona’s European campaign requires immediate improvement. The team stumbled in its opening Champions League match against AS Monaco after an early red card – mistakes that must be avoided to mount a serious challenge in the competition.

The upcoming match against Getafe presents an opportunity for rotation, building on the changes already implemented in the Villarreal game. This strategy aims to keep the squad fresh for the crucial European tie against Young Boys in a week’s time.

| Key Player to Watch | Jules Koundé |

Getafe
The most notable absence for Getafe’s upcoming match is not a player, but their manager, José Bordalás.
He received a suspension following an intense encounter with Real Betis, where his team accumulated eight yellow cards. The aftermath extended to the press conference, with Bordalás responding to Manuel Pellegrini’s comments. Without their head coach, Getafe faces a significant disadvantage for their trip to Barcelona. Additionally, Álvaro Rodríguez and Nabil Touaizi are sidelined due to injuries.

While Barcelona dominates La Liga despite multiple injuries, Getafe’s situation is markedly different. Bordalás’s team is battling relegation, and are still winless in the 2024/25 season. Their current record stands at four draws and two losses, placing them eighteenth with four points, level with Valencia. Only Las Palmas fares worse with two points.

Hansi Flick is expected to rest Lamine Yamal against Getafe. The 17-year-old played against Villarreal, causing concern after a dangerous tackle. Alejandro Baldé and Marc Casadó, rested previously, may return while Raphinha is likely to lead Barcelona’s attack. Hector Fort or Gerard Martín could replace Baldé, offering better crossing ability against Getafe’s defensive setup.

For Getafe, Borja Mayoral stands out as their key player. Former Barcelona academy graduates Carles Pérez and Carles Aleñá return to face their old club. Mauro Arambarri, who scored Getafe’s only goal against Real Betis, is another player to watch.
FC Barcelona vs Getafe Tactical Analysis
Getafe’s style contrasts sharply with Barcelona’s. While Barcelona plays a high line, especially under Flick, Getafe is known for their deep defensive block and physical play.
José Bordalás’s tactics have often been criticized, recently reigniting debates about acceptable playing styles following his dismissal against Real Betis and subsequent clash with Manuel Pellegrini.

Barcelona’s defensive vulnerabilities and Getafe’s deep block suggest that scoring first will be crucial for the Catalans to avoid potential frustration.
FC Barcelona vs Getafe Prediction
- Football pick: Barcelona to win
- Odds: 1.23 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Getafe
Anything short of victory would be considered a failure from Barcelona’s perspective. The team faces Osasuna in a few days before the Champions League resumes. A key question is how Barcelona will perform without Lamine Yamal, whose exceptional displays have become a regular feature.

As a mid-week game, support may be lower, likely affecting Getafe more than the hosts. Getafe’s absence of Bordalás on the sideline is a significant disadvantage. Betting odds of 1.23 for a Barcelona win reflect the expectations for the match.
FC Barcelona vs Getafe Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Barcelona to score more than 2.25
- Odds: 1.84 (22Bet)
Barcelona is expected to score multiple goals at home, especially following their 5-1 victory against Villarreal.
Many will recall their 7-0 win against Real Valladolid. While Barcelona has demonstrated their scoring capability, the potential absence of Lamine Yamal and the change in goalkeeper due to Ter Stegen’s injury could provide opportunities for Getafe to capitalize.
