Barcelona - Getafe betting tips and odds

With the 1.19 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Barcelona will win the match on Sunday. Getafe winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Getafe, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 21.00.

The previous round ended in a relatively easy away win for Blaugrana. They snatched an early advantage against Atlético Madrid and maintained it until the end, prevailing with a 1-goal lead in a 0:1 win.

Getafe’s latest home game against Espanyol was a bit uneventful, ending in a narrow 1:2 defeat. While the loss is not great, we should remember that Getafe were considered underdogs going in – if only by a thin margin.

The away team will find it difficult to secure any points here, but they would be a great way to climb up from their current table position, which is at 15th. The season is close to its midpoint, and putting some more distance between them and the relegation zone would be more than welcome.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
