Overview
Barcelona is showing absolute strength in La Liga season 2024-2025. After the first 6 rounds, coach Hansi Flick's team won all, scored 22 goals and led the rankings. Currently, Blaugrana is 1 point ahead of Real Madrid and has played 1 less match.
Under Flick's guidance, the Blaugrana's attack has been explosive. The trio of Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have contributed to 15 goals so far. In addition, new signing Dani Olmo has also integrated quickly with 3 goals.
However, Barca's defense has not yet reassured the home fans. More worryingly, their number 1 goalkeeper Ter Stegen has suffered a serious injury and will be out for the rest of the season. This is the time for reserve goalkeeper Inaki Pena to seize the opportunity and shine.
On the other side of the front line, Getafe are having a very difficult start to the season. They have not won a single match since the beginning of the season, have only earned 4 points and are ranked 18th. A weak attack is the main reason for the Coliseum team's poor performance when they have only scored 3 goals.
In the last 6 home matches against Getafe, Barcelona have won 100%. In the most recent match between the two teams last season, Blaugrana defeated their opponents with a score of 4-0. With the difference in both form and strength, it will not be difficult for Barca to continue to win all 3 points against Getafe.
Human resources situation
The injury nightmare has not stopped haunting Barcelona this season. In addition to Ter Stegen, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo are also yet to return.
On the other side of the front line, Getafe lost 2 players due to injury, including Nabil Aberdin and Alvaro Rodriguez.
Expected lineup:
Barcelona: Pena, Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde, Torre, Casado, Pedri, Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski.
Getafe: Soria, Rico, Alderete, Berrocal, Dakonam, Iglesias, Milla, Santiago, Arambarri, Uche, Yildirim.
The match between Barcelona and Getafe takes place at 2:00 a.m. on September 26 (Vietnam time).
