Tip and bets
Getafe hardly gets any points, but will most likely avoid relegation. Barcelona is fighting for medals and have no space for mistake. In our opinion, hosts are two heads above the guests and we expect a comfortable win for silver medalists.
Our prediction is on Barcelona to win with handicap (-2).
Hosts have the most powerful attack in the league, so we should expect many goal opportunities and tension in Getafe's defense. We expect a high-scoring game this time.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals.
