The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Xavi's Barcelona side in an important clash at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday.
Getafe vs Barcelona Preview
Getafe are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The Madrid-based outfit slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been impressive on the domestic front this season. The Catalan giants were held to a 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Getafe vs Barcelona Betting Tips
Barcelona have stepped up to the plate in La Liga this season and have managed to carve out a 13-point lead at the top of the table. Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are yet to hit their stride after the World Cup and will need to prove their mettle this weekend.
Getafe have not been at their best this season but have troubled the Blaugrana in the past. Barcelona are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Getafe 1-3 Barcelona
