Barcelona have taken advantage of Real Madrid’s struggles this season and are comfortably sitting at the top of the La Liga. They will now return to action after two weeks of winter break, when they will be hosted by Getafe on Sunday. Getafe have actually been pretty solid this season and are far from an easy opponent.

Getafe (6-4-7) split the points in a 1-1 draw on the road against newcomers Girona in their last match. They were on track to take all three points but conceded a late goal to eventually split the points. Despite the tough result, Getafe are undefeated in their last six matches in all competitions (3-0-3). They are now sitting at the 7th spot of the league table with 25 points, just one behind Betis and the top-six spots that grant entrance to the European competitions. They have been mediocre at home (4-3-1) but have won four of their last five.
Barcelona (11-2-4) were quite solid in their last match where they beat Celta by 0-2 at home. They played greatly in the first half and scored both goals and used the second half to simply hold on to their lead. That was their sixth win in their last seven matches, also keeping four clean sheets in that span. Barcelona are still leading the La Liga with 37 points, three ahead of Atletico Madrid. They have the best away record in the league (5-1-2), where they also have three more wins and a draw in other competitions.

The last time these two met Getafe actually held Barcelona to a goal-less draw on the road. Prior to that it was Barcelona who had won four in a row, and they have also been undefeated in this venue since 2011 (5-0-1). This will not be an easy match for Barca and I will pick the Under 3 Goals here.
