Barcelona will try to win back-to-back games for the first time this season, but Messi's absence could make it a bit complicated.

What is Getafe and Barcelona's form's form ahead of this match?

Getafe has only won one of their six games this season, with one loss and four draws. José Bordalás' men have not kept a single clean sheet this season, and they have only been able to win one game at home in three attempts. Jaime Mata is the team's top scorer, with three goals to his name.

Barcelona has won three of their six La Liga games, but their real problem seems to come when they are playing away from home. Los Culés enter this match on a four-game winless streak away from the Camp Nou, including their 2-0 loss against Granada last weekend. Despite being the subject of harsh criticism, Antoine Griezmann is the team's top scorer, with three goals to his name.

What position do Getafe and Barcelona occupy prior to this game in La Liga?

Getafe makes it to this game in tenth place of La Liga's standings. Los Azulones have done quite well in front of goal, scoring ten times. But their defensive performance has not been top, as they have conceded nine goals in six games.

Barcelona enters this clash in sixth place after one of their slowest starts in decades. Just like their rivals this Saturday, Los Culés have done quite well in front of goal, scoring 14 times in six games. Nevertheless, their defense has conceded ten goals in six games, which gives us an idea on why they have struggled so much this season.

Getafe vs Barcelona - Who's in and who's out

Coach José Bordalás could have to prepare this game without up to four players. Two players, Vitorino Antunes and Amath Ndiayé, have been ruled out due to injury, while Mathías Oliveira and Xabier Etxeita could join the team's injury list, but they will be assessed before the game.

Meanwhile, Barcelona's boss will have plenty to worry about due to Lionel Messi's absence. The Argentine ace has been ruled out due to a groin injury, and he could be left out for at least two games. Samuel Umtiti and Jordi Alba will not be around either.
