Getafe

Getafe are hoping to win again after their last result, the 0-2 La Liga victory against Alaves.

In that game, Getafe had 40% possession and 17 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For Getafe, the goals were scored by Luis Vázquez (53') and Mauro Arambarri (72'). On the other side, Alaves got 13 shots at goal with 5 of them on target.

Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Getafe have been involved. Breaking down the goal weighting during this period, opposition teams scored an aggregate of 5 and Getafe got themselves 5. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be sustained here.

Analysis of their past results shows that Getafe:

• have not emerged victorious against Villarreal in their last 14 matches in the league. A shocking run, it really is.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.

Villarreal

Villarreal come into this encounter following on from a 4-1 La Liga win as they beat Espanyol in their most recent fixture.

In that game, Villarreal managed 49% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. For Villarreal, the goalscorers were Georges Mikautadze (35'), Nicolas Pépé (50') and Moleiro (55'). On the other side, Espanyol got 9 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Salinas (41' Own goal) and Leandro Cabrera (88') scored for Espanyol.

The numbers tell their own story, and Villarreal have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in all. Defensively, Villarreal have clearly had some problems.

Leading up to this clash, Villarreal:

• have not been beaten by Getafe when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 matches in the league. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Getafe

Borja Mayoral (Knee injury) and Davinchi (Meniscus tear) won’t be available for Getafe gaffer José Bordalás.

It looks as if Azulones look set to employ a 5-3-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with David Soria, Domingos Duarte, Abdelkabir Abqar, Zaid Abner Romero, Kiko, Juan Iglesias, Luis Milla, Djene, Mauro Arambarri, Martin Satriano and Luis Vazquez.

📋 Team News: Villarreal

Villarreal boss Marcelino García Toral has multiple availability issues to deal with. Alfon González (Calf muscle tear), Logan Costa (Cruciate ligament tear), Pau Cabanes (Cruciate ligament tear) and Juan Foyth (Achilles tendon rupture) miss out here.

We’re of the thinking that El Submarino Amarillo appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Luiz Junior, Santiago Mourino, Pau Navarro, Renato Veiga, Alfonso Pedraza, Tajon Buchanan, Pape Gueye, Daniel Parejo, Santi Comesana, Nicolas Pepe and Georges Mikautadze.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Getafe will need to push hard to find the net against this Villarreal side who we think should emerge victorious.

We therefore fancy a good battle with a 0-1 winning margin for Villarreal when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
