Barcelona will be aiming to continue their stellar start to the La Liga season when they host Getafe at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona on Thursday. The Catalan giants are enjoying a perfect start to the league campaign with six wins from six matches, putting them comfortably at the top of the table with 18 points. However, they will be without their star goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, who sustained a serious knee injury during their recent 5-1 victory over Villarreal.
Getafe, on the other hand, find themselves in a precarious position, sitting in 19th place with four draws and two losses. They will be desperate to improve their performance and earn a valuable result against the league leaders.
