Barcelona to Win

Last season’s La Liga winners Barcelona kick off their campaign on Sunday evening with a trip to Getafe.

Xavi’s men had a decent pre-season as they won four of their five outings, while also scoring 13 times.

Barcelona, who added Ilkay Gundogan to their ranks this summer, won the league by 10 points last season and they know the importance of a quick start in the title race.

Getafe finished 15th last campaign and they were just two points above the relegation zone. All signs point to a Barcelona victory on Sunday night.

Under 2.5 Goals

While we’re on a Barcelona win, we’re not expecting many goals.

The last four meetings between Getafe and Barcelona at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez have seen Under 2.5 Goals land – and that trend should continue on Sunday.

It’s hard to see Barcelona blowing Getafe away as both sides get up to speed after pre-season. A 1-0 or 2-0 victory for the away side seems likely.

 

        Robert Lewandowski to Have 2 or More Shots on Target

        Who else but Robert Lewandowski? The Poland striker netted 29 goals in all competitions for Barcelona last season and he’ll want to better that tally this time round.

        Lewandowski averaged 4.5 shots per game in La Liga and the Champions League last campaign. We fancy at least two of Lewandoski’s efforts to go on target.

        Raphinha to Have 1 or More Shots on Target

        Raphinha netted eight times and chipped in with seven assists under Xavi last season in his first year at the Nou Camp.

        The former Leeds man will be more settled now and he’ll want to kick on this season and better his statistics.

        Raphinha to Score or Assist is another option to look at but we’re siding with him to have a shot on target.

        He averaged around three shots per game last season and we know from his time in England that he’s not afraid to pull the trigger from distance.

        Over 4.5 Barcelona Corners

        Our final Bet Builder selection is Over 4.5 Barcelona Corners.

        Xavi’s men will have more of the ball and Getafe will likely be camped in their defensive third trying to keep the likes of Lewandowski and Raphinha out.

        Barcelona averaged just over seven corners per game last season and their dominance should lead to more of the same on Sunday night.
