Lewandowski, Casadó and Balde set to return for Barcelona clash against Getafe

Hansi Flick will look to get his team back on track on Saturday when they take on Getafe at the Coliseum.

We have to go back to matchday seven of the 2019/20 season to see when FC Barcelona last scored against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez (kick-off 3:00 PM ET).

Saturday's match will be a real test for Hansi Flick's men after recent mistakes in LaLiga, with the Catalan side now six points behind leaders Atlético and five behind Real Madrid.

However, the German coach will get a boost with a team that will see the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Marc Casadó and Alejandro Balde back in action for the Blaugrana.

At the moment, there are only two major doubts hanging over Barcelona's starting XI, with a question mark surrounding the goalkeeper. Iñaki Peña is believed to have the advantage to start over Wojciech Szczesny, with the experienced Polish stopper shown a red card in last weekend's Super Cup final against Madrid.

It also remains to be seen who will join Marc Casadó and Pedri in midfield. All indications are that it is Gavi, who will see Dani Olmo rested with the former RB Leipzig man set to start in the Champions League match against Benfica in Portugal.

Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo will man the center of defense with Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde on the flanks. In midfield, Casadó will team up with Pedri and Gavi. The attacking trident returns, with the 'pichichi' Lewandowski joined by two of the most in-form players in European football: Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

Frenkie de Jong, Olmo and Gerard Martín seem destined to start the game in Getafe from the bench.
