There are four fixtures to be played in La Liga on the 16th of April including the meeting between Getafe and Barcelona.
The match will be played at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and the hosts are currently 16th in the league on 30 points while the visitors are top of the table on 72 points.
Getafe come into the game having lost 2-0 at Real Sociedad in their most recent La Liga fixture last weekend.
Real Sociedad scored at the end of the first half and that left Getafe with too much to do after the interval and the hosts added a second goal on the hour to take maximum points.
The loss at Real Sociedad was the first defeat in 5 games for Getafe. They previously beat Girona and Sevilla at home plus picked up 2 points thanks to draws at Cadiz and Athletic Club. The points have been in crucial in moving Getafe out of the relegation zone.
Trends show Getafe have achieved a run of 3 straight home wins in La Liga. They are undefeated in 7 of their last 9 home league fixtures and have recorded 4 wins and 3 draws in those 9 matches.
Getafe have found the back of the net at least once in 6 of their 7 most recent home La Liga games but have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home league matches.
Barcelona travel to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on the back of a disappointing 0-0 draw at home against Girona in La Liga last weekend.
It was the second successive game without a win for Barcelona following the shock 4-0 home defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Barcelona were poor in that match and Xavi will be keen to get back to winning ways quickly.
In terms of La Liga, Barcelona are undefeated in their last 5 games. There have been wins over Real Madrid and Valencia at home plus victories at Athletic Club and Elche.
Trends show Barcelona are unbeaten in 36 of their 41 most recent away matches in all competitions and have won 8 of their last 10 away La Liga games.
Barcelona have scored at least once in 13 of their last 14 away La Liga fixtures.
Looking ahead to the team news and Getafe are without injured forward Jaime Mata and have doubts over the fitness of Mauro Arambarri.
Barcelona continue without the injured quartet of Frenkie De Jong, Andreas Christensen, Pedri, and Ousmane Dembélé.
Barcelona could have the title wrapped up in the next two games if other results go their way. They will be keen to bounce back from two poor results but Getafe have improved recently and this will not be an easy game.
However, we expect Barcelona to record a narrow victory, with both teams scoring.
