Getafe vs FC Barcelona Preview
- Tournament: La Liga
- Date: Saturday, January 18
- Kick-off Time: 08:00 PM GMT
- Venue: Coliseum, Getafe.
After clinching the Supercopa de España 2025 and winning the Round-of-16 tie against Real Betis CF in the Copa del Rey, FC Barcelona are back in the Spanish top tier to lock horns with hosts Getafe CF next. The Cules seem to be finally back on the same track, where they were at the start of the season. They would like to continue the momentum in La Liga too, so a win in this Getafe vs FC Barcelona game will be crucial.
Home team Getafe CF recently edged past Pontevedra to qualify for the RO16 of Copa del Rey. This win and the last in La Liga against Las Palmas should be enough to boost their morale before facing the giants. Getafe are in the 15th spot in the present league, with 19 points from as many games. A win here will be very crucial for them to stay away from the relegation zone, but looking at the fierce form of Barca, even a draw would make them more than happy.
As the league stands at the halfway mark, the game can be considered the start of a new leg. FC Barcelona who fumbled during the 2024 end have a chance to revamp and challenge the top spot in the long run. With past big wins, they should be pumped to make a mark in this one. The visitors are at the third spot after repeated loss of points, if they lose further it would only make their road to glory tougher.

Key Players to Watch in Getafe vs FC Barcelona
Mauro Arambarri (Getafe CF)
The No. 8 has been one of the brightest players in the Getafe side this season. In La Liga, he has four goals, despite focusing all his time in the midfield. The player has a high 3.57 xG, and looking at the leaky defense of FC Barcelona, if he repeatedly tries to penetrate, not much effort would sound needed to give a shocker.
Dani Olmo (FC Barcelona)
FC Barcelona had to go through a lot to register Dani Olmo yet again. A lot of out-of-field battles and court cases with La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation had to be dealt with. Finally, Olmo is again eligible to play. This time he will be playing the La Liga for the first time after the cases were ruled.
Goals from him will mean a lot, not just for the side, but for the fans and especially the officials who had to work tough to get him secured. He has valued his loyalty, now he has to just play his ordinary game and that should be enough to trample a struggling Getafe defense. Olmo has five goals in 11 games in the La Liga this season, with an illustrious 2.85 xG.
Getafe vs FC Barcelona Prediction
Looking at the past H2H records, present fierce form, and great squad, FC Barcelona are predicted to have an easy win in this game, with a good margin. Getafe CF, despite playing at home, might face a tough time to stand for long.
