Villarreal vs Getafe Preview and Prediction: An Exciting Back-and-Forth Match
The La Liga match between Villarreal and Getafe will take place at 11:30 PM on October 20th. Nghe An Newspaper provides statistics, analysis of form, football predictions, and a score prediction for this match.
Latest team news for Villarreal vs Getafe
Villarreal will be without four players: Logan Costa, Denis Suarez, Gerard Moreno, and Juan Foyth for Sunday's match. In addition, Willy Kambwala and Alfonso Pedraza require last-minute fitness checks, while Villarreal's top scorer, Ayoze Perez, may also miss the game due to a muscle problem.
There is much speculation about Alex Baena's future, and he is likely to play on the left wing, while Nicolas Pepe could also continue as a starter. On Getafe's side, coach Bordalas had a full squad available for their last match against Osasuna, and this is expected to continue into the weekend's game.
The starting lineup for the 1-1 draw will remain the same, but there could be changes in attack with Borja Mayoral likely to start. Mayoral has made five appearances from the bench this season after recovering from a knee injury and could be given a chance in the starting XI.
Latest predicted lineups for Villarreal vs Getafe
Villarreal:
Conde; Femenia, Albiol, Bailly, S Cardona; Comesana, Parejo, Gueye; Pepe, Barry, Baena
Getafe:
Soria; Dakonam, Berrocal, Alderete, Rico; Perez, Arambarri, Milla, Uche; Mayoral, Yildirim
Latest football match prediction: Villarreal vs Getafe
Villarreal had an unsuccessful La Liga season last year, finishing eighth, but they have started strongly in the 2024-25 campaign with 17 points from nine games, currently sitting fourth. Under Marcelino's leadership, the Yellow Submarine have scored 17 goals, third in goal tally, behind only Barcelona (28) and Real Madrid (19). However, they have also conceded 17 goals, the second worst defensive record, making Villarreal an interesting team to watch.
Villarreal's two defeats this season were against big teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they remain confident in competing with Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Although not in European competition, Villarreal will begin their Copa del Rey campaign later this month with an away match against Poblense.
Villarreal have won two of their last three La Liga matches but lost 0-2 to Real Madrid before the international break. Meanwhile, Getafe have earned four points in their last two games, with one win and one draw, and currently have one win, five draws and three losses, sitting 16th with eight points, just two points above the relegation zone.
Villarreal scored many goals but also conceded many, while Getafe had the opposite record with only six goals scored (second worst scoring record) but only seven goals conceded (third best defensive record). Despite only one win, Getafe proved to be a formidable opponent, with a narrow defeat against Barcelona.
Getafe haven't beaten Villarreal in La Liga since January 2019, but both matches last season ended in a draw. This could be a tough game for Villarreal, but we believe they will do enough to secure three crucial points.
