Barca has kept Estadi Olimpic unblemished so far with a perfect winning record and only one goal conceded. A victory in this clash will stretch their winning thread to three matches and strengthen their lead at the top of the table if other outcomes go their way.
In contrast, Getafe continues to search for their first victory of the season following a 1-1 stalemate with Leganes in their last outing, extending their winless run to six league games.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen joins Barcelona extensive injury list after suffering a devastating injury in the previous encounter against Villarreal and he is expected to miss this clash.

Barcelona boasts the league’s most terrific firing power, having scored twenty-two goals in five matches. We expect the attacking trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to wreak havoc to the visitors’ defense and score numerous goals. Barcelona to score two or more goals is a plausible option to consider.
