Barcelona will again have the chance to stretch their lead at the top of La Liga to five points when they welcome capital side Getafe** **to the Camp Nou on Tuesday.
As it stands, they lead second-place Real Madrid by two points, but with Real not in action until Wednesday, it is another opportunity to move a step closer to the title.
Since the turn of the year, Barcelona have won 24 of their 27 games in all competitions, including 14 of their 17 league fixtures, which has seen them take charge of the title race. With just five games remaining, they lead second-place Real Madrid by two points.
Lionel Messi, the Sword-shark and the actor have also all found their form in recent weeks, with the trio fast approaching 100 goals mbetween them for the season. Barca have had tough tests against Sevilla and Valencia in recent weeks, but came through those two games unbeaten and look on course to wrestle the league title back from Atletico Madrid.
On paper, Barcelona would expect to comfortably win four of their remaining five league games, with their trip to Atletico Madrid on May 16 the only fixture that should pose problems.
Getafe currently sit seven points outside of the relegation zone in 13th and will feel that another win would be enough to secure their La Liga status for another season. In the 2013-14 campaign, they finished in 14th position on 42 points and the powers-that-be will be keen to see an improvement this time around.
It has been a mixed campaign, with 10 wins, six draws and 17 defeats from their 33 league games. They have only scored 28 times, which is among the lowest in the division, but they have only conceded 46 times, which is far from the worst record in the league.
It has been a struggle on the road, meanwhile, with the capital club suffering 10 defeats from their 16 games. They are currently 11 points from the top seven and therefore have no realistic ambitions of making a late push for European football.
Getafe are currently operating at the level that is expected. They have been forced to live in the shadow of their more famous neighbours, but they are currently in their 11th straight season in Spain's top flight and look on course to enjoy a 12th in the new campaign.
So, considering all this? What’s the odds you may wonder?
1,04..
My score prediction will be 4-0. An obviously easy game for Barca as they mostly are. What are your predictions? Anyone who believe in the under dogs here?
