La Liga preview and odds: Barcelona vs Getafe

March 12, 2016 16:00pm - Camp Nou

La Liga

Barcelona will be confident of extending their 36-game unbeaten run when they welcome a Getafe side who are winless in eight to the Camp Nou in La Liga on Saturday.

Barca dominant on all fronts

Barcelona`s current set of statistics makes very impressive reading. They are unbeaten in 36 games in all competitions and have won 17 of their last 18 - the only exception being the Copa del Rey second-leg draw against Valencia, in which they fielded a weakened side.

In La Liga, Luis Enrique`s men have won 11 games in a row and are unbeaten in their last 21. At the Camp Nou, Barca have lost just four of their last 108 league games, with their last defeat coming against Malaga in February of last year.

The Blaugrana come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win away to Basque Country minnows Eibar.

Getafe end losing streak

Getafe finally ended their run of seven-straight defeats when they bagged a 1-1 draw at home to Sevilla last week. Whether that stalemate will spark a recovery for the Madrid side remains to be seen - however, their prospects for picking up further points this weekend do not look good.

Fran Escribá`s men are currently sat in 16th place in the table just a point above the drop zone. Only Sporting Gijon have picked up fewer points over the last five games.

The team from the capital have only scored one goal in their last seven La Liga games and their only win away from home this season came at Gijon back in January.

Team news

Adriano, Douglas and Rafinha are all missing for the home side, while the visitors will have to make do without Damian Suarez, Carlos Vigaray and Roberto Lago.
