Barcelona vs Getafe prediction 24.02.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 24th February 2024
• Kickoff: 15:15 UTC / 16:15 CET
• Venue: Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys

This weekend, Barcelona aims to maintain their chances of finishing at least second in the 2023-24 Spanish top flight campaign as they host Getafe.

The last time La Blaugrana took action was midweek, when they journeyed to Italy to confront Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Xavi’s team could only manage a draw, but the fact that the Serie A champions only had one shot on goal is seen as a positive aspect from that encounter.

On the other hand, Getafe have had the advantage of more than seven days to prepare for this game. They approach Saturday’s match on the back of a three-game unbeaten streak, and given that they haven’t lost in their previous two matches against Barcelona, they’re likely to be confident of securing a positive result.

Barcelona vs Getafe Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals

Naturally, Barcelona are the favourites in this game, but the unpredictable nature of football means anything can happen. Following the strenuous confrontation with Napoli in Europe, it is anticipated that Xavi will make substantial alterations to his starting line-up.

Getafe’s recent games have also gained a reputation for lacking entertainment. In four out of their last five games, the total goals were less than 2.5, and I anticipate a similar result this Saturday.

Another reason to anticipate a tight game is the fact that recent matches between Barcelona and Getafe have been closely contested. In the last thirteen encounters, more than two goals were scored in only one match.

• Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
• Barcelona vs Getafe prediction: 2-0
