Force information

Villarreal is facing a serious personnel crisis. Their list of absentees is quite long, affecting many key positions.

• Villarreal:P. Cabanes (knee injury), L. Costa (knee injury), G. Moreno (injury), and W. Kambwala (hamstring injury) will be absent. P. Gueye is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, while T. Partey's availability is uncertain.
• Getafe:The visiting team had almost a full squad, with only Davinchi absent due to a knee injury.

Analysis and predictions

With home advantage, superior form, and a favorable head-to-head record, Villarreal are considered the clear favorites against Getafe. However, a wave of injuries could significantly impact their strength and squad depth. Getafe, with almost their full squad, could certainly pose a challenge with their frustrating defensive style. Nevertheless, based on their performance at El Madrigal, a narrow victory for the home team is the most likely scenario.
