After an exciting round of midweek matches, La Liga continues this weekend with what promises to be a fantastic game at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. It features a team who just pulled off a miracle comeback away from home and the defending champions who desperately need a convincing victory on the road to quiet the critics, improve confidence and stay close to its title rivals.

Following a horrible loss last weekend, Barcelona returned to its winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal, but the result did not help manager Ernesto Valverde’s cause. Barça was great in the opening 15 minutes but struggled for the rest of the game, and fans are even more angry with their coach now. To make things worse, Lionel Messi injured his groin and might miss some time. The champions are yet to win away from home and must pick up points to convince its fans and critics that the team can win anywhere.
Beating Getafe is not a simple task. The Madrid side is playing European football thanks to a spectacular campaign last season, and it is still the rock-solid side that everyone hates to play. Getafe proved that once again on Wednesday with an amazing comeback and a 3-3 draw away to Valencia, who led, 3-1, late in the second half. Getafe’s defense and counter-attack are amazing, but its main strength is its fighting spirit. The team has never given up and feels like it can beat anyone, including Barcelona. They haven’t lost at home either and will relish the chance to face a team under pressure to perform on the road.
