Barcelona return to action in La Liga on Sunday night, hosting Getafe at 20:00 BST at the 6,000-seater Estadi Johan Cruyff. With the Camp Nou still undergoing renovations, Hansi Flick’s side will once again be playing in the more intimate setting. 

Despite being homeless, the Catalan giants have made a strong start to the campaign, while José Bordalás’ Getafe also arrive in good form. With both sides riding high in the early standings, this promises to be an intriguing contest between second and fourth place in La Liga.

Team form

Barcelona’s start hasn’t been easy. Forced to play their first three fixtures on the road, Flick’s men collected seven points from a possible nine with two wins and a draw. They finally played their first ‘home’ game of the season at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Valencia last weekend, running riot in a 6-0 demolition job. 

Fermin López, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski all grabbed braces. The performance sent a statement that Barcelona mean business despite their temporary home venue, and the result left them sitting in second place, just behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
