Team News

Getafe
  • Getafe suffered another defeat away from home - their fifth this season - against Sporting in their last outing.
  • Abdel Barrada received a controversial red card against Sporting and will serve his one-game suspension against Barcelona.
  • Defender Miguel Torres picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Gijón and will miss this game.
  • Centre back Lopo should be back in the XI after serving his one-game suspension against Sporting.
Barcelona
  • Barcelona earned a hard-fought victory in San Siro against Milan in their last outing in the Champions League, securing top spot in the group.
  • Guardiola may rotate his line-up since Barcelona will also play on Wednesday against Rayo, a week 17 game that had to be rescheduled because of Barça's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup.
  • Iniesta missed the Champions League clash against Milan and is doubtful for this game with problems in his left thigh.
  • Pedro was back in action against Milan and will be ready to face Getafe and may even start this game.

Prediction

  • Getafe aren’t playing particularly well at the moment and will have a tough challenge facing Barcelona.
  • Guardiola will probably use some replacements here after an intense match in Milan. However, Barça shouldn’t have a problem against Getafe.
  • Expect Barcelona to control this game as Getafe do not have enough quality to cause an upset here.
