Lens hosts Lyon in a Matchday 6 fixture of the French Ligue 1. The game is scheduled for Friday, October 9, at 21:45.
Barcelona visits Getafe in a match from the 33rd round of the Spanish La Liga. The match will be played on April 25, Saturday, at 15:15 UK Time at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium.
Form of both teams
Getafe has been impressive with its results lately - 7 wins in the last 10 matches is a very good achievement. The "Blues" dream of qualifying for Europe and currently occupy 6th position. The Getafe team has established itself as an extremely difficult opponent, especially against stronger teams. Victories such as 1:0 against Real Madrid, 2:0 over Athletic Bilbao and the success as a guest of Real Sociedad with 1:0 show the good form of the hosts. They will strive to make it difficult for the leader Barcelona, ​​who will want to take a new step towards the title.
Barcelona continues to demonstrate high class and perseverance and leads by 9 points over Real Madrid before the start of the round. The Catalans are on a strong run of form in both the league and the Champions League, despite being eliminated from the tournament. Wins such as 2-1 against Atletico Madrid, 4-1 over Espanyol and the crushing 7-2 against Newcastle show their huge attacking potential. Barcelona play at a high pace, control possession and create many chances. The team is effective in the closing stages and rarely misses its chances. However, Lamine Yamal's injury makes things more difficult in the remaining matches, as Rafinha is also out with an injury.
Prediction for Getafe - Barcelona
In terms of class, form and greater depth in the squad, Barcelona have the advantage. Although Getafe are a tough opponent and have been playing well recently, the Catalans have enough quality to find a way to victory and they are the favorites to win. There are some key players missing from Hansi Flick's squad. However, I expect Barca to handle this opponent and my prediction is a win for Barcelona.
