Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Barcelona will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Celta Vigo when they face Getafe in the La Liga round 26. Barca are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Robert Lewandowski, who scored a brace against Os Celeste, while Joao Felix faces race against the clock to be fit for the match. All Ferran Torres, Sergi Roberto, Alex Balde, and Marcos Alonso are out of contention with injuries.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league matches. The capital club have recorded only one win on the road this season and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Barcelona’s party at Camp Nou. Jordi Martin is a major doubt, while Mauro Arambarri remains on the sidelines with an ACL problem.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
