In fact, sitting in 10th position, they are only a point off a Europa League spot and this will be their aim for the remainder of the campaign – to secure European football.
Looking at their recent form, they have been reasonably solid with just one defeat in their last six games. Their most recent encounter on Saturday saw them beat Sporting Gijon 2-0 too, so they go into this one in good spirits.
As for the recent history between these two, Barcelona have won five of their last seven La Liga games against Getafe. However, when the two teams met earlier in the season, it was Getafe that secured a famous 1-0 win.
Whether they can repeat this and completed a remarkable double remains to be seen. Barcelona – who have the title in their sights still – will certainly be focused on three points.
This one gets underway at 8pm this evening.
