The Friday clash in the Spanish La Liga will see Villarreal go against Getafe in a true mid-table battle. Prior to the start, it is the Azulones that sit higher in the table and are just 5 points from the sixth place. Hosts Villarreal seem locked on for a mid-table finish with not much hopes of anything else.
Villarreal Team News
Despite a rather good recent run, The Yellow Submarine will see this season as nothing more than mid-table mediocrity. Villarreal are unbeaten in their last 4 La Liga games, in which they secured 1 win and 3 draws. Three of those games saw less than 2.5 goals scored аand the team managed to keep 1 clean sheet. At home, Villarreal are undefeated in their last 3 fixtures with 2 draws and 1 win. Two of those games saw less than 2.5 goals and goals scored from both hosts and visitors.
Getafe Team News
Getafe will be visiting Villarreal on a high after an exciting 3-2 win over Celta in the last round. The Azulones have a slim outside chance of an European football next season, but it is more of a dream than anything else. On the road, Getafe seem to be an interesting team to watch for a neutral spectator with 23 goals conceded and 18 scored. Recent form for them hasn’t been spectacular with 2 wins and losses plus a draw from their last 5 La Liga fixtures. Two games saw over 2.5 goals and in 4 of the last 5 Getafe conceded a goal.
Head-to-Head-Games
The head-to-head statistics favour Villarreal as they have 3 wins in the last 5 games while Getafe have none. Games between these two sides seem to be goal-shy as 3 of the last 5 La Liga games between them featured less than 2.5 goals. In a broader historical sense, Getafe are a good opponent for Villarreal at home as The Yellow Submarine have 20 wins over them.
Villarreal – Getafe Betting Prediction
I will go against the flow here and go with over 2.5 goals. Getafe’s games on the road tend to see quite a bit of goals, both scored and conceded by them. On the other hand, Villarreal’s home games do tend to see goals as well, despite the last 2 being with under 2.5 goals. That, coupled with Getafe’s away profile is a good reason to pick goals here.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
