Barcelona will face Getafe in their third match of the La Liga 2021-22 season on Sunday at Camp Nou. Barca started the new season with a thumping at home victory (4-2) against Real Sociedad. Gerard Pique and Martin Braithwaite’s brace gave them a comfortable 2-0 lead. While late goals from opposition’s Julen Lobete and Mikel Oyarzabal made the game tight, Braithwaite struck again, and Sergi Roberto’s injury time brace sealed a 4-2 victory. But Ronald Koeman’s men failed to make it two in a row, as they slumped to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao last weekend. With defending champions Atletico Madrid winning both of their first two matches, Barcelona will want to win this game.
Meanwhile, Getafe after losing their opening two games, will look to get off the mark in this fixture. The team did not get off to a strong start when they travelled to Valencia on the opening day. Michel’s side were unable to draw level and eventually lost the match by 1-0. They hoped to bounce back against Seville, but Erik Lamela’s 93rd-minute goal condemned Getafe to a second straight defeat.
The La Liga 2021-22 match between Barcelona vs Getafe will kick off at 08:30 PM IST.
