Barcelona vs Getafe prediction 25.09.2024 | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Wednesday, 25th September, 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Barcelona)

Last season was unsuccessful for Barcelona, considering they finished the year without a trophy. In La Liga, they finished 2nd, but ten points behind Real Madrid. This year, despite having major injury problems, Barcelona are dominating teams in La Liga, and have won a maximum of 18 points. Their goal for this season is, of course, to win their 28th La Liga title. However, even though they started the season great and already have a four-point advantage over Real Madrid, the bookies see them as the second favorite for the title, offering odds around 2.5 on that bet.

After finishing 15th in three consecutive seasons, Gefate had the opportunity for a much better finish last season. Still, with five losses in the last part of the season, they eventually finished 12th. To be fair, they won just 43 points, which isn't much better than the previous seasons. This year, "Azulones" opened the season terribly, with only four points in six rounds, and currently sitting in 18th place. Right now, according to bookies, Getafe are the fourth favorite for relegation, only behind Leganes, Las Palmas, and Real Valladolid.

Barcelona vs Getafe pick: Barcelona to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

Barcelona are the hottest team in La Liga, and it isn't even close. They won all six games and scored an incredible number of 22 goals - 3.7 per game. They also covered the -1.5 AH spread in the last three La Liga games. Barcelona's only poor game this season was in the Champions League against Monaco. Still, the main reason for that (2:1) loss is an early red card by Eric Garcia.

Getafe are without a win in the first six games. They are generally a team that struggles offensively, but this season's record is truly worrisome as they scored only three goals - 0.5 per game. Also, away from home, Getafe lost two of three matches so far.

Last season, Barcelona won their home game against Getafe 4:0. Now, with a massive difference in form and a home-pitch advantage, anything but a big win for the Catalan team would be a massive surprise for us.
