Getafe – Barcelona. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Spanish championship

On January 18, the Alfonso Perez Coliseum will host a match of the 20th round of the Spanish Primera, in which Getafe will meet Barcelona. The match will start at 22:00 European time.

Getafe

The team under Bordalas showed their best: after leaving the Segunda, then they managed to make it to the playoffs of the Europa League, and in the Premier League they climbed to fifth place. Reunited with Pepe, the Blues are aiming for much less. But, most importantly, in 2023, they managed to score enough points last season to keep their place in the Premier League. Now the task does not change – the difficult struggle for registration continues. However, at the same time, the performance in Copa del Rey continues – in January they knocked out another opponent, Granada, and this week – Pontevedra. But in the priority of the Primera, where they try to reach at least the level of a point per round. And in this regard, it was important to beat Las Palmas – it worked out in the last round.

Barcelona

The club went without a title last season and this led to Xavi being sacked. And Flick, who took his place, understood perfectly well that if in Catalonia they said goodbye to their living legend without sentiments, then he too would hardly have a second chance. And the blue-garnet team had a good start, and were especially pleased with the defeats of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. But in the Premier League from November, a shocking failure began: 1 win with 4 defeats in 7 rounds – of course, this led to the loss of a one-man confident leadership. After the winter vacation, the Kules warmed up in Copa del Rey with Barbastro. And then they confidently beat Athletic 2:0 in the Super Cup – let’s note Szczesna’s dry match, which they decided to play at the last moment. In the final of the tournament, they managed to humiliate Real again, winning 5:2. Then the same number of goals were scored in the Betis cup.

Statistics of personal meetings

The Catalans did not lose to the rival from the suburbs of Madrid 8 times in a row, and in 2024 they won dryly in both meetings.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider the clear favorite more than the club. He is only obliged to win after the losses in December – we bet on the visitors with a handicap of -1 goal (coefficient – 1.86).
