Getafe v Barcelona Betting Preview – La Liga 16th September 3.15pm

It’s a case of write Barcelona off at your peril then as Juventus found out in midweek in the UEFA Champions LEague as they were crushed 3-0 by the Catalans. So it is back to business in La Liga now for Barcelona on Saturday as they make a trip to Getafe looking to extend their winning start to league campaign. Given the odds that up are on this one, it is isn’t an away game that is likely going to be troubling them as they go as strong odds-on favourites to pick up all three points and make it four wins from four to start the season with.

Getafe v Barcelona Betting Tips

Will Getafe get any change out of their home game against Barcelona on the weekend? So far in La Liga, no-one has gotten anything out of the Catalan. Getafe are not exactly boasting great form either to suggest that they can pull off a big upset in this fixture as they have gone and put up a W1 D1 L1 record in the Spanish top flight this season. They have played just the one home fixture so far this term and that ended up in a 1-0 defeat against Sevilla for them. Sevilla are currently in third so it’s wasn’t a heavy defeat for Getafe. There haven’t been a lot of goals in games involving them so far this season and therefore you have a price 15/8 at bet365 on this fixture going under 2.5 goals. Getafe haven’t hit the back of the net in any of their last three home fixtures against the Catalans now and from those three games, they have picked up one point. Barcelona to win to nil at bet365 returns a price of 6/5 which looks a decent enough punt.

Barcelona have made a very steady start to the season, just the thing they needed after the summer in losing Neymar and getting smashed apart by Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. They are back on track it would seem and their 3-0 win over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League suggests that. Lionel Messi has been in tremendous scoring form this season and he has scored six of Barcelona’s nine league goals this season and he netted a hattrick in his last game. Messi is trading as the 2/1 first goalscorer favourite at bet365. Two of Barcelona’s three games this season in La Liga have ended in a 2-0 scoreline in their favour and in the bet365 correct score market a Barcelona 2-0 option is a price of 13/2. That also supports the game finishing under the 2.5 goal line. It has been plain sailing for them Barcelona so far and it’s important that they keep going as long as they can with Real Madrid having had an indifferent start. Barcelona’s first big test comes against Atletico Madrid in mid-October.
