Casado’s energetic style and relentless work rate make him central to Barcelona’s midfield operations, but it also results in frequent fouling. The young midfielder leads his team with an average of 1.67 fouls per game, significantly higher than his closest teammate, Gavi, at 1.0. In his last 14 games, Casado has committed 2+ fouls 9 times, including in 5 of his last 7 appearances.

Against a Getafe midfield that has drawn 22 fouls across their last 5 matches, Casado’s involvement will likely include breaking up play, particularly given Getafe’s preference for physical duels and transitions. Expect Casado to meet or exceed this foul threshold as he combats Getafe’s aggressive approach.

Lamine Yamal’s technical brilliance and acceleration make him a nightmare for defenders. The 17-year-old averages 1.88 fouls drawn per game, the highest among Barcelona’s players, reflecting his ability to force opponents into errors.

Yamal has drawn 3+ fouls in 3 of his last 6 starts, a testament to his growing influence on the team’s attack. Facing a Getafe left flank that has committed 13 fouls in their last 4 games, Yamal will likely be targeted heavily. His capacity to invite challenges should comfortably see him reach this milestone.

Yamal’s attacking threat extends beyond drawing fouls. With an average of 1.29 shots on target per game, he has managed to hit the target in 10 of his last 11 games, including 2+ shots on target in 7 of those.

Given Getafe’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly on their left side, Yamal’s precision in front of goal makes this selection highly probable. Barcelona’s attacking dominance should create at least one opportunity for Yamal to test the goalkeeper.

On the opposite wing, Raphinha brings consistent end product to Barcelona’s attack. Averaging 1.46 shots on target per game, the Brazilian has registered at least 1 shot on target in 8 of his last 9 matches, including 3+ shots on target in 2 of his last 3.

Raphinha also boasts a strong record against Getafe, hitting the target in each of his last 4 matches against them. With Barcelona expected to dominate possession and generate chances, Raphinha’s inclusion in this bet builder adds substantial value.

Although Getafe’s league struggles are evident, they consistently contribute to the corner count in their games, particularly at home. Getafe average 4.1 corners at home this season, achieving 3+ corners in each of their last 6 home matches. To cement this trend, all but one home game has hit this mark this season.

Barcelona, on the other hand, often concede corners due to their attacking dominance and opponents’ counterattacks. On the road, Barcelona allow an average of 5.47 corners per game, rising to 5.71 corners per game in domestic away fixtures.

Getafe’s record against Barcelona reinforces this trend, with corner counts of 5, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5 in their last 6 meetings, further validating this selection. Expect Getafe to reach at least 3 corners in this encounter.

Known for their physicality, Getafe rank as one of La Liga’s most card-prone teams, averaging 2.84 yellow cards per game this season. They have picked up 3 or more cards in 13 of their 19 league games, including 7 of their 10 home fixtures.

Barcelona’s fluid attack forces opponents into challenges, as seen in their ability to draw an average of 2.68 yellow cards per game from their adversaries. When Barcelona play away from home, this number rises to 3 cards per game, with their opponents receiving 3+ cards in 6 of 11 domestic away matches. The combination of Getafe’s aggressive style and Barcelona’s attacking threat makes this an attractive pick.

Diego Rico, Getafe’s left-back, often finds himself on the wrong side of the referee due to his combative defensive approach. He has been booked in each of his last 3 games as well as 4 of his last 5, taking his total to 7 for the season, despite averaging just 1.11 foul per game.

Rico will face the unenviable task of marking Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s most fouled player. With Yamal’s pace and trickery, Rico’s chances of a picking up yellow card for a 4th straight game are elevated, particularly given Getafe’s overall physical playstyle and tendency to accumulate cards.

Raphinha’s contributions in the final third have been instrumental for Barcelona this season. With 20 goals and 10 assists in all competitions, he leads the team in combined goal contributions.

Whether as a scorer or creator, Raphinha’s consistency is evident, having either scored or assisted in 6 of his last 11 games. His ability to exploit Getafe’s defensive frailties on the left flank makes this a highly reliable selection.
