*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The home team are the very clear favourites according to the Barcelona vs Getafe odds with an implied probability of 71.4% that they win the game and temporarily at least move into 2nd place.
Our betting picks suggest they will do that after a more encouraging display in the 1-1 draw away to Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Getafe meanwhile come into the game after picking up a decent point in the form of a 1-1 draw at Villarreal last weekend in La Liga.

There has only been one goal scored in the last four meetings between Barcelona and Getafe with the South Madrid side often parking the bus and succeeding in disrupting Barca from finding any rhythm.
Our Barcelona vs Getafe prediction suggests this one may be a bit more open though with Getafe playing slightly more expansive stuff this season while Barca games have been raining goals of late.

Player to watch – Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski moved onto 18 goals for the season by scoring the opening goal in Milan in midweek. He’s scored twice or more in every competition he’s played for Barca this term.
Late penalties key for Barca
Three times this season, Barcelona have won league matches 2-1 thanks to Robert Lewandowski scoring a winning penalty after the 75th minute.
He actually missed his initial spot kick in Vigo last weekend, but the keeper was off his line and the Pole made no mistake second time around to seal victory in the 97th minute.
