Barcelona have struggled at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in recent years, and I expect another hard-fought battle on Sunday.

Under 2.5 goals could prove a solid play, while Getafe, who finished last season in decent form, could take a point or more in this La Liga season opener.

Getafe are unbeaten in 8 of their last 9 home La Liga matches
Getafe are unbeaten in their last 3 home matches against Barcelona
Getafe have seen under 2.5 goals in 7 of the last 9 home games against Barcelona and Getafe
Barcelona have failed to score in their last 3 away games against Getafe
Barcelona are winless in 4 of their last 5 away La Liga games

Head to Head

Barcelona hold a dominant record against Getafe, although they have not won at this venue since 2019.

However, the Catalan giants have lost just one of 23 games against the Geta Azulones since

2011.

Xavi’s side were held to a goalless draw in their most recent match at this venue in April.

Getafe Form

Getafe finished their La Liga campaign in 15th place, just two points clear of relegation.

However, José Bordalá’s appointment in April inspired a strong finish to the campaign, with the Geta Azulones losing just one of their last six league matches.

Sunday’s hosts brought their pre-season preparations to a close with a dominant 4-1 win against Eredivisie opponents Vitesse last weekend.

Getafe Team News

José Bordalás has a few injury concerns, with Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla and Enes Unal all likely to remain absent.

Gaston Alvarez, Jose Angel Carmona and Daniel Fuzato are amongst several summer arrivals in contention to make their competitive debuts.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona have enjoyed a decent pre-season with four wins and just one defeat in five matches.

The Blaugrana brought their summer schedule to a close with a 4-2 come-from-behind victory against Tottenham last weekend.

While Xavi’s men reclaimed the La Liga title for the first time since 2019, Barca only managed to win one of their last five away games of the season.

Barcelona Team News

Barcelona have yet to complete their squad registration ahead of Sunday’s kickoff.

Ousmane Dembele will not be involved with the French winger set to complete a move to PSG.

Ilkay Gundogan should make his competitive debut; however, fellow summer signing Inigo Martinez is sidelined with a foot injury.

Verdict

Getafe v Barcelona

This could prove a tricky season opener for Barcelona, and I’m backing a tight, low-scoring contest with under 2.5 goals my preferred pick.

In addition, Getafe have shown plenty of resilience at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this year and in recent games against Barcelona. I’ll take a chance on the Geta Azulones in the double chance market.
