Barcelona are back in La Liga action on Saturday sitting proudly at the top of the table after a flawless opening seven matches.
Hansi Flick's side have been Spain's standout team, collecting 21 points from a possible 21 while scoring an incredible 31 goals and conceding just seven.
The Blaugrana have also carried that momentum into Europe, hammering Feyenoord 5-1 in the UEFA Champions League last month.
Meanwhile, Getafe travel to Catalonia with far more modest ambitions after an inconsistent start to the campaign.
Jose Bordalas's side have collected only eight points from their opening seven league matches, scoring just four goals in the process.
But they did ease any relegation fears with a hard-earned 1-0 win over Malaga last time out.
Barcelona have dominated this fixture in recent years and arrive brimming with confidence after winning all eight of their competitive matches this season.

Barcelona v Getafe Prediction
Best Bet: Barcelona to win by two goals @ 7/2
Everything we have witnessed so far this season points to a comfortable Barcelona victory on Saturday.
The league leaders have looked irresistible in attack, plundering 31 goals in seven La Liga matches while averaging more than four goals per game.
Flick's men are not simply winning matches, they are overwhelming opponents with relentless pressure, movement and creativity in the final third.
Barcelona have won each of their last five competitive fixtures and scored a remarkable 24 goals during that run.
But there are two factors which could prevent them from completely running away with the game on Saturday - Getafe's defensive structure and the effects of the international break.
The visitors' defensive organisation under Bordalas deserves respect, albeit their lack of firepower is a concern heading into this contest.
Getafe have managed only four league goals all season but they have also conceded just four times in their last six domestic contests.
They lost this fixture 3-0 last season, but look capable of keeping Barca on a relatively short leash this weekend.
There are likely to be plenty of rotations in Flick's line-up after a busy international break where load management became a prominent theme.
Backing Barcelona to win by exactly two goals, which they have done in three of their opening seven La Liga games, looks the standout selection.
Alternative Bet: Under 180 Goal Minutes @ 10/11
Getafe are expected to defend deep while spending large periods without the ball, and even an early Barca breakthrough is unlikely to make the visitors open up.
Additionally, the visitors have rarely troubled Barcelona's defence in recent times, so the prospect of the home side having to go through the gears also seems unlikely.
Bordelas's men have scored in only a limited number of matches this season and their tally of four league goals suggests a significant lack of attacking punch.
Flick's outfit will be made to work hard for their goals and, if they grab a couple in the opening hour, they may begin to think about saving their legs for the upcoming UEFA Champions League trip to Galatasaray.
The Under 180 Goal Minutes line would have a strong chance of landing in that scenario.
Barcelona v Getafe Bet Builder Tip
Karim Adeyemi 1+ shots on target
Johan Mojica to be booked
Under 11 Total Corners
Pays 9/1
Karim Adeyemi's pace and direct running make him one of Barcelona's most dangerous attacking weapons and he should have opportunities to test the Getafe goalkeeper.
The German has registered five shots on target in his last five club games, despite featuring for more than 30 minutes in only one of them.
A booking for Getafe defender Johan Mojica appeals for a couple of reasons, not least as the Colombian could find himself tasked with stopping Barcelona's dangerous wide players, who draw lots of fouls.
Mojica has collected three yellow cards in his last five games and is likely to spend long periods defending Getafe's penalty area this weekend.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have exceeded 10.5 total corners in only two of their last five matches, while Getafe have done so in just one of their previous five.
