Getafe and Barça face off at the Coliseum on matchday 20 of EA Sports LaLiga. This article provides essential details regarding the start time and how to follow the match in Spain.
The Getafe team will host Barça in what promises to be a difficult encounter on their home ground in Madrid. Bordalás’ side come into this match on the back of a labored 1-0 win over Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey, thanks to an early goal from Álvaro Rodríguez. However, Rodríguez’s night was cut short as he received a red card for a foul on an opponent before half-time. Known for being a particularly difficult team to maneuver around, Getafe will face a team that embodies the very opposite of their style of play.
This will be Flick’s first visit with Barça to the Coliseum, where the team currently occupies 15th place in the standings with 19 points, the same number as the days played. They have only two wins in their last five outings, but they are looking to build momentum after their latest success, with the aim of making it back to back wins against the Blaugrana.

On the other hand, Barça arrives at this match in great shape. After impressive victories against Real Madrid in the Supercopa (5-2) and against Betis in the Copa (5-1), Flick’s team are reinvigorated and ready to capitalize on their good form. Key players such as Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, Gavi and Cubarsí are all contributing significantly, giving Flick plenty of reasons to be optimistic about their chances. The immediate objective is to overcome a formidable opponent who requires patience and physical resistance to prevail.
To find the last time Barça lost to Getafe away, you have to go back to 2020, when the team lost 1-0 on the road. The previous defeat dates back to 2011. These historic statistics may offer slight hope to the German manager and his team, although it is important to note that several scoreless draws have taken place between the two teams since 2022.
