Getafe take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 20 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 18th at Estadio Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe reached their maximum level during Bordalas' previous tenure as coach. Then he started in Segunda, but managed to participate in the Europa League playoffs and almost reached 4th place in Primera. Having returned almost 2 years ago, the specialist first saved his new-old charges from relegation. And in the next cycle, they scored enough points to finish comfortably, albeit at the bottom of the standings. They expected further growth, but instead, the Madrid team is now showing very mediocre results, balancing on the edge of the relegation zone. Well, at least the fight continues in the cup - 2025 began with Granada's passage there, and then they dealt with Pontevedra. And in the last round, they also won against Las Palmas.

"Barcelona" can't afford new misfires. In 2023, the "blue garnets", under the leadership of their own football legend, Xavi, were able to regain their titles, winning the Spanish Super Cup and Primera in succession. But then there was a decline, and in the spring, Laporta sacked the former midfielder. He was replaced by Flick, and after that, even with almost the same lineup, strengthened almost only by Dani Olmo, there was not an ideal, but a strong start, with such bright successes as the defeats of Real Madrid and Bayern. But since November, the "Catalans" have gone into a nosedive, almost completely stopping winning, and losing the lead in Primera. After a break, having warmed up in the cup with "Barbastro", then the "cules" confidently, 2-0, beat Athletic in the super cup. In the decisive match with the "galacticos" they even managed to arrange a rout 5-2. And then the same five goals were scored in the cup against Betis.
The Blue Garnets have not lost to this opponent in the last 8 matches. And the 1-0 in September was their second victory in a row. Cules is clearly stronger - they should not only win, but also with a handicap of -1 goal.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.0 handicap.
