After the international break, La Liga play picks up again as Barcelona travels to meet Getafe Saturday at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Barcelona remains perfect in league play after they defeated Valencia 1-0 on Sept. 2. Fullback Adriano scored the game's only goal in the 22nd minute.

The Catalans dominated the time of possession and fired off five shots on goal to Valencia's one.

Getafe will look to knock off another of Spain's most dominant teams, as they dropped Real Madrid 2-1 on Aug. 26. Azulones only managed a 1-1 draw against Deportivo, but may be a team that rises to the most difficult occasions.

The match could also bring Getafe out of 10th place on the La Liga table, while Barcelona are hoping to keep their perfect league play intact.

Los Blancos midfielder Andres Iniesta is out for two weeks due to a thigh injury, which will give struggling midfielder Cesc Fabregas a chance to shine and to play through a tough stretch of goalless matches.

Getafe is 1-5 against Barcelona in their last six meetings, and the Catalans took a 4-0 victory in April, but lost on their last trip to Getafe 1-0 in November.

The match begins at 2pm EDT, and you can view a live stream online at your own discretion here.

Prediction: Barcelona are currently on a tear, and even with Iniesta sidelined, Fabregas may have a boost of confidence after he helped Spain win their World Cup qualifier last week. Getafe can still shock the Catalans by displaying the same rigid defense they employed against Real Madrid.

Predicted score: Barcelona 2, Getafe 1
