Barcelona vs Getafe: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 22, 2025

On Sunday, Barcelona will host Getafe at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in a key La Liga Matchday 5 clash. There’s a strong possibility for many goals in this match.

Match preview

Barcelona, under Hans Flick, are performing well and remain near the top of the league. In their last match, they thrashed Valencia 6-0, proving their strong attacking ability even with some players rotated. After four matches, they have 10 points and have scored 13 goals, the highest in the league.

At home, Barcelona are particularly dominant, playing attacking football and typically winning convincingly. Despite injuries to ter Stegen, Balde, Yamal, and Gavi, they have enough depth to maintain a fast pace. Ferran Torres, Pedri, and Rashford have been effective together, and it’s been difficult for opposing teams to defend against them.

Getafe have surprised many this season, collecting 9 points and sitting fifth in the standings after four matches. Their only loss was against Valencia (0-3), but they have won their other games without conceding a goal—2-0 against Celta and Oviedo, and 2-1 against Sevilla. Coach José Bordalás’s team relies on a high-intensity, fast-paced attacking style.

Getafe’s strategy is straightforward: they haven’t played to a draw in their last 20 league matches. Though they are considered the underdogs, they play fearlessly away from home, creating opportunities to score while being vulnerable to attacks. If they can find openings, they might trouble Barcelona at least once.

Probable lineups

• Barcelona: Garcia, Martin, Kounde, Cubarsi, Eric Garcia, Casado, Pedri, Bardaji, Torres, Lopez, Rashford
• Getafe: Soria, Rico, Djené, Femenía, Abkar, Duarte, Arambarri, Milla, Martin, Liso, Mayoral

Match facts and head-to-head

• Barcelona have won their last seven home matches against Getafe.
• In 7 of Barcelona’s last 9 La Liga games, the total has gone over 2.5 goals.
• Getafe have gone 20 league matches in a row without a draw.

Prediction

Barcelona are gaining momentum and continuing to attack effectively at home. Getafe will push forward, but facing a powerful Barcelona team could lead to an open game. Both teams can score, but the home side might exceed the total on their own.
