Barcelona host Getafe on Saturday evening in the eighth round of the Spanish league. Hansi Flick’s side lead La Liga with a perfect record and can match the club’s best-ever league start with another win. For the visitors, even a point would be a serious achievement.
Barcelona have started the 2024/25 season in stunning form: seven wins from seven, scoring 31 goals and conceding just seven. The Catalans most recently won 3–1 away to Sevilla, having previously put seven past Racing Santander and five past Valencia.
The attacking play is led by Raphinha, who already has 12 league goals, while Lamine Yamal and the midfield runners also pose a serious threat to opposition defences.
Getafe, by contrast, have collected eight points from seven rounds and sit 11th. José Bordalás’s side have scored just four goals, though their defence has been solid: only seven conceded in seven league matches. They most recently beat Málaga 1–0, but face a far tougher task at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona vs Getafe injuries and absentees
For the hosts, Raphinha’s fitness is the main question. The Brazilian forward returned from international duty with a minor thigh problem, so Flick may only use him from the bench. Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji remain sidelined, while Joan García and Eric García are likely to feature.
For Getafe, Juanmi and Christantus Uche are certain absentees, while Abdel Abqar and Kiko Femenía are doubtful. Mario Martín, however, should return after suspension.
Barcelona: J Garcia; E Garcia, Cubarsi, Martin, Espart; Fermin, Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Gordon
Getafe: Soria; Garcia, Djene, Romero, Mojica; Martin, Terrats, Gudelj, Francho, Satriano; Unal
Barcelona vs Getafe betting tips
The Sports Mole statistical model assigns an 82.07% probability to a Barcelona win, with the site predicting a 3–0 home victory.
Given the Catalans’ attacking strength, a multi-goal home win would be no surprise, though Getafe’s organized defence means another goal glut is not guaranteed.
From a betting perspective, Barcelona –1.5 Asian handicap and Getafe under 0.5 team goals are worth considering. The latter is supported by the visitors’ weak attacking record, though Barcelona’s occasionally vulnerable defence carries some risk.
