Barcelona: Seven victories and an unstoppable attacking machine
Barcelona have made a spectacular start to the 2026/27 La Liga campaign. Hansi Flick's team have collected the maximum 21 points from seven matches, scoring an astonishing 31 goals while conceding seven. Their average of more than four goals per league game illustrates just how dangerous the Catalans have become in the final third.
Their recent performances have been particularly impressive. Barcelona demolished Valencia 5-0 away from home, defeated Levante 4-2, thrashed Racing Santander 7-2, and secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Sevilla in their most recent league outing.
The team's attacking philosophy remains unchanged. Flick demands aggressive pressing, rapid transitions, and constant movement between the lines. Barcelona regularly overwhelm opponents through their combination play and individual quality, with Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Fermín López providing creativity and intensity.
However, the international break has created certain personnel concerns. Raphinha sustained a thigh injury while representing Brazil. Although the problem is not considered serious, the Brazilian could begin this match on the bench.
Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji are unavailable, while Joan García and Eric García have been working towards full fitness. Frenkie de Jong is also listed as doubtful.
Despite these concerns, Barcelona possess sufficient attacking depth to maintain their impressive momentum. Dani Olmo could operate as a false nine, supported by Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon.
Getafe: Defensive organization cannot hide attacking problems
Getafe have experienced a much less convincing start to the season. José Bordalás' team occupy 11th place with eight points from seven matches, recording two victories, two draws, and three defeats.
Their biggest concern has been attacking productivity. Getafe have scored only four goals in seven league games, averaging just 0.57 goals per match.
The situation becomes even more worrying when examining their away performances. Getafe have lost all three away league matches without scoring a single goal:
- Deportivo Alavés 3-0 Getafe
- Osasuna 1-0 Getafe
- Real Betis 1-0 Getafe
The visitors at least ended their recent winless run with a narrow 1-0 victory against Málaga in their latest league fixture. Nevertheless, producing a similar result against Barcelona represents an entirely different challenge.
Bordalás traditionally builds his teams around defensive discipline, physical duels, and compact positioning. Getafe are likely to defend deep, minimize space between their lines, and attempt to disrupt Barcelona's attacking rhythm.
Enes Ünal has scored three of Getafe's four league goals and remains their primary attacking threat.
The visitors also face personnel problems. Christantus Uche and Juanmi are unavailable, while Abdel Abqar and Kiko Femenía face late fitness assessments. Mario Martín, meanwhile, is available again after serving his suspension.
Against an opponent that dominates possession as effectively as Barcelona, Getafe's limited attacking output could become decisive.
Probable lineups
- Barcelona: Joan García; Eric García, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Xavi Espart; Fermín López, Rodri, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Anthony Gordon.
- Getafe: David Soria; Andrés García, Djené, Zaid Romero, Johan Mojica; Mario Martín, Ramón Terrats, Nemanja Gudelj, Francho Serrano, Martín Satriano; Enes Ünal.

Prediction: Barcelona's attacking dominance should leave Getafe without a goal
Barcelona approach this match in outstanding form. Seven consecutive league victories, 31 goals scored, and the advantage of playing at Camp Nou make Flick's side overwhelming favorites.
Getafe's defensive approach could initially make life difficult for the hosts. Bordalás' players are capable of remaining compact and slowing the tempo, but their lack of attacking threat is a serious concern.
The visitors have failed to score in all three away league matches this season, and facing Barcelona's relentless pressure is unlikely to make their task any easier.
Although the Catalans have not been flawless defensively, Getafe lack the attacking efficiency required to exploit those weaknesses consistently. Barcelona should dominate possession, create numerous chances, and eventually break down the visitors' defensive structure.
The most likely scenario is a comfortable home victory with Getafe struggling to threaten the Barcelona goal. A result such as 3-0 would fit the current form and attacking statistics of both teams.
Prediction: Both teams to score — No.
