Barcelona entertain Getafe at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in La Liga on Wednesday. The Blaugrana have enjoyed a 100% start to their league campaign after six games, while Getafe are winless, losing twice.
Barca suffered a 2-1 loss at Monaco on Thursday in their UEFA Champions League opener. But they bounced back with a 5-1 win at Villarreal in La Liga three days later, thanks to Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha braces.
Getafe, meanwhile, have been winless in 11 games in La Liga since last season. They have suffered consecutive losses after the international break before drawing 1-1 at home to Leganes on Sunday. Borja Mayoral equalised seven minutes after Jorge Saenz had given Leganes a 76th-minute lead.

Barcelona vs Getafe Prediction
Barcelona have enjoyed a winning start to their league campaign. They are unbeaten in 10 home games in the league, winning nine.
Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen became the latest injury concern for new boss Hansi Flick, joining Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Andreas Christensen, Fermín Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal and Dani Olmo on the sidelines. As they face a busy schedule over the next two weeks, Flick is likely to rotate his squad here.
Getafe, meanwhile, have had two losses this term, with both coming in away games. They have lost four of their last five away games in La Liga, scoring twice. Nabil Aberdin hasn't played in La Liga after the international break due to a muscle injury and is a doubt for this match.
Considering the form of the two teams and the hosts' dominance in the fixture, expect Barca to register a comfortable win.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Getafe
