FC Barcelona could not have dreamed of a better start to the league season. So far, the Catalans have won all six matches and are confidently leading the table with 18 points. They have a point advantage over second-placed Real Madrid, but have played one match less. Therefore, if they prove to be better than Getafe on Wednesday, the difference will increase to four. The match will also be special for Robert Lewandowski. Getafe is one of only four rivals in LaLiga against whom the Pole has not yet scored a goal. And will he even get a chance from the first minute?
Will Lewandowski break through against Getafe? The Spaniards have ruled on his performance
Everything points to the fact that he has. Lewandowski has been playing in every match since the beginning of the season, and it is hard to find fault with his form. Most recently, on Sunday, he scored two goals in a 5-1 win over Villarreal. Although he missed a penalty later, he still put in a great performance. The most important Spanish dailies have also been certain of the 36-year-old's participation from the first minute.
All of them have put his name in their predicted lineups. They don't differ much, because Barcelona are currently very limited in terms of personnel. Ronald Araujo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo are all injured, and after the last match, goalkeeper and captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen is also out. Inaki Pena is expected to replace him against Getafe, as he did in the second half of the clash with Villarreal.
Here are the predicted lineups for FC Barcelona. No surprises
In addition, according to “Asa” and “Sport”, the defender quartet is to be made up of: Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde. Another variant is predicted by “Marca”, which instead of Garcia bets on Inigo Martinez. As for the formation of the midfield and attack, all three editors agree. They expect to see Mark Casado, Pedri, Pablo Torre, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. The only differences are in the way they are set up. The fcbarcelonanoticias.com portal, on the other hand, presented a slightly different eleven, which instead of Raphinha would see Ferran Torres and instead of Jules Kounde – Hector Fort.
The FC Barcelona – Getafe match will take place on Wednesday, September 25 at Montjuic. Kick-off at 9:00 p.m.
