Barcelona v Getafe Live | Online Football
The pressure is on Barcelona this week as they face a must win scenario at home to Getafe in week 31 of La Liga.
Barcelona lost a terrible match on the road last week when they fell to Real Betis by a score of 3-2. The Cules had gone into the second half with a 0-2 lead only to see it evaporate quickly. The loss drops the side managed by Frank Rijkaard to 3rd place of the league table with 58 points, 7 back of first place Real Madrid. Barcelona will certainly not be at full strength this week as Ronaldinho, Messi and Deco are all expected to miss out. The lone highlight this week for Barcelona was a positive result in the Champions League.
Getafe are in great spirits this week as they visit Barcelona. The side managed by Michael Laudrup are in the middle of the league table in 12th place with 39 points but have played first rate football in the UEFA Cup. They are coming off of a 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich in the semi final of said tournament. Domestically Getafe have struggled as they are winless in their last 3 with their last 2 games having ended in losses. However, their great work in the UEFA Cup allows them to go into this match with renewed confidence.
