Four points behind Primera Division leaders Real Madrid, Barcelona travel to Getafe on Saturday seeking to close that gap.
The Catalans have yet to pick up a win away from home this season in four attempts, leading to mounting pressure on head coach Ernesto Valverde, who may not be able to survive another disappointing road trip.
Getafe, meanwhile, have proven to be obstinate opponents. Since losing to Atletico Madrid 1-0 on the opening day of the season, they have enjoyed a five-match undefeated run, albeit four of these have ended in draws.
