Spanish football returns to the fold with its penultimate set of La Liga fixtures for the season this weekend as Xavi's Barcelona take on a struggling Getafe side at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday.
Getafe vs Barcelona Preview
Getafe are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Madrid-based outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Osasuna last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have shown a considerable degree of improvement under Xavi. The Catalan giants eased past Celta Vigo by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

- Barcelona have an impressive record against Getafe and have won 27 of the 37 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Getafe's four victories.
