Villarreal
- Villarreal are currently 9th in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 12 points after 11 games, level on points with 13th placed Getafe who have also played 11.
- Villarreal have won just two of their last five and are on a run of two straight losses, whilst Getafe have won just one of their last two away games across all competitions.
- Villarreal's recent home form has been particularly shaky, they have failed to win either of their last two home games across all competitions (D0, L2).
- Villarreal's last three matches have seen them beat CD Manacor 0-5 in the Copa del Rey before two LaLiga losses to nil against Espanyol and PSG.
Getafe
- Getafe have won two and lost three of their last five and are winless in five LaLiga 2026/2027 away games (D0, L5).
- Getafe have won just one of their last two away games across all competitions.
- Getafe have a 3-1 win over Sevilla in LaLiga and 2-3 away win at UB Lebrijana in the cup, but also a 0-1 loss to Brighton in the Conference League.
Head-to-Head
- Getafe split the last two head-to-heads 1-1 in LaLiga 2025/2026.
- Getafe have split the last two meetings in LaLiga 2025/2026, each winning one, but that result came 8 months ago and the visitors haven't won any of their last three in the league away to Villarreal.
Key Players
- Iñigo Pérez sets Villarreal up in a 4-4-2, but it can interchange with 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 shapes.
- They look to press in an aggressive way and show quick acceleration through the lines.
- José Bordalás sets Getafe up in 4-4-2 or back-five looks, favouring direct, physical football and disruptive pressing.
- Enes Unal leads the scoring for Getafe with one goal in 7 games in LaLiga 2026/2027, so the visitors will need more than one spark to bite them here.
- Pape Gueye has the edge for Villarreal with 3 in 7 from midfield.
Betting Insights
- The odds are definitely for the hosts at 1.47, but other markets are competitive.
- Over 2.5 goals is available at 1.87 and Both Teams to Score - No is 1.77.
- Villarreal have scored an average of 1.20 goals per match at home in LaLiga 2026/2027.
- Getafe have conceded an average of 2.40 per match on the road in the same competition.
Prediction
- The odds are definitely for the hosts at 1.47, but I am going to stick with them to win and bounce back with three points.
- It is not going to be as clean as a Villarreal win to nil, which is my primary selection.
- Getafe split the last two LaLiga meetings in 2025/2026 and have some recent cup wins, but their run of away league defeats (D0, L5) suggests Villarreal have the quality to control the match at La Ceramica.
