GEF vs BAR LA LIGA MATCH PREDICTION-TEAM NEWS

La Liga, Spain

After escaping a defeat narrowly in their last game, FC Barcelona will be looking to get back to dictating terms when they host Getafe CF. Getafe have been brilliant defensively this season and it won’t be easy for Messi and Co. to get past it. Also, Barcelona will have a lot to look after in the defence line up as two of their first choice central defenders won’t be available for selection in this game. With respect to the points table, 3 points for Getafe will take them to the 7th spot while a win for Barcelona will extend their lead at the top to 12 points.

For our predictions, we go for a 3-1 win for Barcelona.
