Watch Getafe – Barça: TV channel, free streaming and probable lineups

After its big 5-1 victory against Betis in the Copa del Rey, FC Barcelona travels to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Saturday to face a Getafe team in search of precious points. This duel on the 20th day of La Liga promises to be crucial for both teams, but with very different challenges.

Barça in search of redemption in La Liga

Currently third in La Liga, Hansi Flick’s men are going through a difficult period in the league. With only one victory in their last seven La Liga matches (against Mallorca at the start of December), the Blaugranas are struggling to maintain their pace from last season. As evidenced by their defeat against Atlético Madrid and their draw against Betis, which knocked them out of the title race.

However, Barca arrive at Getafe with positive momentum. On a series of four consecutive victories in all competitions, including a resounding success in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid, the Catalans seem to be regaining their offensive efficiency, in particular thanks to brilliant performances from Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski. But in La Liga, Flick must reverse the trend so as not to move further away from the leading duo, made up of Real Madrid and Atlético.

Getafe, defensive fortress but fragile offensively

For its part, Getafe approaches this meeting with newfound confidence. José Bordalás’ men have three consecutive victories in all competitions, including a valuable one against Las Palmas in La Liga. With a solid defense – the third best in the championship with only 16 goals conceded – Getafe relies on its rigor to compensate for its offensive shortcomings. With only 13 goals scored this season, the attack remains the weak point of the Azulones.

Historically, Getafe has often caused problems for Barça on home soil. The last three meetings between these teams at the Coliseum ended in scoreless draws. Bordalás therefore hopes to extend this unbeaten streak, although his team is still struggling to move away from the red zone.

This match will be a crucial test for Barça, on the eve of their Champions League reunion against Benfica. A convincing performance in La Liga is expected to regain ground on their Madrid rivals.
