Getafe vs Barcelona Prediction: Catalans to celebrate 4th win in a row

Coliseum Alfonso Perez will host the next La Liga match, with local Getafe taking on Barcelona on May 15, 2022 at 20:30 (UTC+3).

Getafe

Getafe have a very good season by their standards, solving the main task — keeping their place in the Primera. With great probability, we can already say that the Blues are not going anywhere from the top flight of Spanish football, as they are currently sitting 15th in the standings, five points ahead of the relegation zone two rounds before the finish. Four rounds in a row have seen Quique Sánchez Flores' team without a single loss, but they have not won much in this stretch, with only one win and three more draws.

Barcelona

Barcelona continues to rebuild. All this leads to the fact that the Catalan club lived the season without trophies. Fortunately, Blaugrana managed at least to get back to the second line in the standings, from which they are unlikely to go anywhere, as the gap from the nearest pursuer two rounds before the finish is five points, but they are too far away from Real Madrid, 12 points behind. After the appointment of Xavi as their head coach, there was an immediate improvement in results, but then the Catalans slipped down a little. Still, in the last three rounds, they still managed to beat Mallorca 2-1, Betis 2-1, and then Celta 3-1 one by one.

Head-to-head encounters

The teams have played 39 matches against each other. Deep Blue Ones have recorded four wins, Barça have been stronger in 28 games, while seven games ended in a draw. The goal difference is also on the side of the Catalans, 97-33. This season, the opponents have met once, and the victory was celebrated by the players of Barcelona, 2-1.

Expert Betting Tips

Getafe and Barcelona no longer solve any tournament problems at the finish of the championship. While Deep Blue Ones are theoretically still able to fly out and Barcelona slide into third place, the chances are too slim. Of course, on the pure level of skill, the Catalans are an incomparably stronger team, which in the upcoming match must get three points. Besides, now Xavi's men are in good shape having won three games in a row. As a result, we choose to bet on the victory of Barcelona at odds of about 2.15.

Despite all the difficulties Barcelona had during the current season, they are still the second most productive team in the championship. They have scored 68 goals (1.89 average per game) in 36 meetings played and scored 36 goals (2.40 average per game) in their last 15 games. Moreover, in the previous seven head-to-head encounters with Getafe, it was only once that the Catalans scored less than two goals, so the optimal choice is Barcelona's Individual Total Over (1.5) goals at odds close to 2.20.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the current season at Arsenal, where he scored only four goals in 14 games, and during the winter transfer window, he moved to Barcelona. The Gabonese forward began to show the same effectiveness in the Catalan capital: in 15 meetings he scored 11 goals and came close to Memphis Depay in the race of the club's snipers, trailing by one goal. The 32-year-old made a double in the last round, confirming his good form, so a bet on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal at odds of around 2.60 is worth looking at.
