Getafe CF vs FC Barcelona ... La Liga week 4

Getafe CF vs FC Barcelona

La Liga, week #4

Saturday: 15-Sep-'12

Coliseum Alfonso Pérez @ 18:00 (GMT)

Barcelona always dominated, but slip-ups against Getafe cost a lot:-

Barcelona, the best football team in world today! I believe when Getafe's players, fans, and management read this statement they know they don't have a chance to win. But, last season Getafe were one of the reasons Barça didn't win the league; in my opinion. I know that Madrid deserved the title last season, and proved it by defeating Barça at the Camp Nou. BUT, Getafe was 1 of 3 teams (along with Osasuna and Real Madrid) to defeat Barça last season. My point is, a Barça slip-up against Getafe is always interesting for La Liga.

No pressure on Barça before and after this match:-

Barça will play against Spartak Moscow next Wednesday in the UCL, and they'll play this match against Getafe prior to Real Madrid's game against Sevilla FC. With all due respect to Spartak Moscow, they can't and won't do what Rubin Kazan did in the 2009-10 season when they defeated Barça at the Camp Nou. So, Vilanova won't be under pressure during the Getafe game. Plus, he has a full squad... Excluding Sanchez.

Getafe, the team that beat Madrid in week #2:-

I have a belief in football, if team X defeats team Y and team Z defeats team X; this doesn't mean team Z will beat team Y. Real Madrid and Barcelona are always title contenders, and every team wants to be on the cover of tomorrow's papers. As I mentioned above, maybe Real Madrid are the "victims" this season.

Call-ups:-

Getafe CF... Moya, Codina; Alexis, Mane, M. Torres, Lopo Garcia, D. Abraham, Valera; Lacen, Sarabia, Gavilan, P. Leon, D. Castro, Barrada, Michel, Xavi Torres; Alvaro, Colunga, Paco Alcacer.

FC Barcelona... Valdes, Alves, Pique, Puyol, Macherano, Song, Cesc, Xavi, Villa, Messi, Thiago, Pinto, Bartra, Sergio B, Pedro, Montoya, Adriano, Tello, Deulofeu.

Prediction:-

Barça will win it, surely. But the question is that can Barça score lots of goals? Maybe, but a 3 goal deficit is reasonable!
