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 its best: after leaving the Segunda, then it was possible to make it to the playoffs of the Europa League, and in the Primera – they climbed to the fifth place. Having reunited with Pepe, the Blues are achieving much less. But, most importantly, they managed to score enough points in 2023 to keep their place in the Primera Division. Now the task does not change – there is a difficult struggle for registration. However, in parallel, the performance in Cope 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 one point per round. And in this regard, it was important to beat Las Palmas – this happened in the last round.

Barcelona

The club was left without titles last season, and this led to the fact that Xavi was dismissed. And Flik, ​​who came to his place, perfectly understood 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 had a good start, and the defeats of Real Madrid and Bayern were especially pleasing. But in the Premier League, a shocking failure began in November: 1 win with 4 defeats in 7 rounds – of course, this led to the loss of sole confident leadership. After the winter holidays, the coolies relaxed in Cope 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 they scored the same number of goals in the Betis cup.

Statistics of personal meetings

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

Forecast

Bookmakers consider the club to be a clear favorite. He must only win after the losses in December – we bet on the guests with a handicap of -1 goal (coefficient – 1.86).
