Middling club Getafe CF (3-5-1, 10 points) will get a taste of elite level action against the defending champions FC Barcelona (7-2-0, 21 points) at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Saturday, October 31 as the 2015-2016 La Liga season continues.
Getafe is having an up and down season so far after opening the season with three straight losses. El Geta managed to come back with three wins in their last six outings, but it still left them currently at the 13th spot of the league table.
Their last game was an upsetting 0-5 loss to Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on October 24, behind a hat trick by Sevillistas striker Kévin Gameiro, as reported by SkySports.
Meanwhile, Barça is back on track to defend their Spanish title as they are presently on a two-game winning run after losing their second match of the season also versus Sevilla on October 3.
The Catalonia giants pulled off a 3-1 victory over Eibar last Sunday at the Camp Nou after they defeated Rayo Vallecano in a high-scoring affair, 5-2, on October 17.
Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez completed a hat trick in the absence of superstar forward Lionel Messi, who continues to be sidelined by his knee ligament injury, while Neymar provided ample support for the 10-man squad of Luis Enrique, as per The Guardian.
The Deep Blues will try to give a good fight against Blaugrana, but in the end, Enrique's more talented team will prevail.
The prediction is a 3-1 victory for Barcelona.
Getafe starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Guaita; Cala, Vergini, Alexis, Lago; J. Rodriguez, Meira; Leon, Sarabia, V. Rodriguez; Scepovic
Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Bravo; Alves, Pique, Bartra, Alba; Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets; Sandro, Suarez, Neymar
