Barcelona are set to take on Getafe in La Liga on Wednesday, 25 September with the hosts looking to continue their perfect start to the new season.
Barcelona have won all six of their matches in La Liga so far with their most recent performance being a thumping 5-1 away against Villarreal.
Getafe, meanwhile, are enduring a nightmare start. They are yet to win a single match in the league and they have little prospect of that run ending on Wednesday.
How the bookies view it: Getafe given little chance
This is a match between two teams who have had very contrasting starts to the season so it is no surprise that Barcelona are heavy favourites on Wednesday. Betfred have priced a home win at 2/9 while a win for Getafe has been priced at 12/1. The draw, which would be a great result for the visitors, has been priced at 5/1.
Recent head-to-head: Plenty of goalless draws
This is a fixture that has produced several goalless draws in recent times with three of the last five matches between Barcelona and Getafe finishing 0-0. Beyond that, Barcelona are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Getafe with the visitors' last win over Barca coming in 2020.
Getafe have never won an away match against Barcelona so they are seeking history on Wednesday.
Players to watch: Barcelona's flying wingers to steal the show
Barcelona's midfield has been decimated by injuries so far this season but it has been of little consequence as it has been their wingers who have been their standout players.
Despite still only being 17-year-old, Lamine Yamal, has started the new season in the type of form that would make him a legitimate Ballon d'Or contender. The right-winger has four goals and five assists in nine appearances for his club, meaning he is averaging more than one goal contribution per match at present.
On the other flank is Raphinha, a player who has somewhat been forgotten about due to Yamal's brilliance. However, the Brazilian is a star in his own right. Although he hasn't been as consistent as Yamal, he does have match-winning qualities and scored a brace at the weekend in the win over Villarreal to take his goal tally for the season up to five
The duo will look to heap more misery on Getafe this weekend alongside striker, Robert Lewandowski, who currently leads the Golden Boot race in La Liga.
Predicted line-ups
Ferran Torres is available for Barcelona once again but Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has joined their long injury list after going off with a knee injury against Villareall. Getafe are guaranteed to be without Nabil Aberdin and Alvaro Rodriguez while Borja Mayoral is a doubt.
Barcelona: Pena – Kounde, Martinez, Cubarsi, Balde – Torre, Pedri, Garcia – Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski
Getafe: Soria – Iglesias, Djene, Gonzalez, Alderete, Rico – Santiago, Milla, Arambarri, Uche – Yildrim
Anything else catch the eye?
Although three of the last five meetings between these clubs have finished 0-0, it would be a huge surprise if one occurred again here given how goal-happy Barcelona have been this season. They have scored 16 goals across their last three league matches and are priced at 11/10 to score over 2.5 goals on Wednesday.
