After successfully securing a place in yet another Copa del Rey Final, La Liga leaders Barcelona are back in league action on Sunday with a home match against Getafe. The Blaugrana are yet to lose a game in the league this season and continue to dominate teams with good coaching and even better player performances.

But anyone thinking that a game against Getafe will be easy is sadly mistaken: the Madrid side have had a very solid season and are one of the good counter-attacking teams in the league, and they can also hurt teams on set pieces if given multiple chances. Keep an eye on Getafe winger Amath Diedhiou, a really, really quick attacking player who could be a nightmare for the Barça defense.

The leaders are the favorites, though, and if they take the game seriously then a win is more than likely.


POSSIBLE LINEUPS

Barcelona (4-4-2): Ter Stegen; Semedo, Piqué, Mina, Digne; Alcácer, Paulinho, Rakitic, Coutinho; Messi, Suárez

Getafe (4-4-2): Guaita; Suárez, Djené, Cala, Antunes; Portillo, Arambarri, Mora, Amath; Ángel, Molina


PREDICTION

Getafe could create a lot of problems on the counter, but Barça will get the job done with a strong home win: 3-1 to the home team.
