Getafe vs Barcelona score prediction
It would take a collapse of epic proportions for Barcelona not to win back La Liga at this point, and instead their focus should be on smashing all sorts of defensive records - they have currently conceded just nine league goals this season.
Getafe's fight against relegation won't be lost here, though they have emerged from a pretty tough recent schedule with their heads held high.
Nevertheless, expect the points to head to Catalonia.
Prediction: Getafe 0-2 Barcelona
