Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Alaves, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Alaves managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Marcelino García Toral will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 home games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from El Submarino Amarillo, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Getafe, Recent FormGetafe will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Celta Vigo. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Celta Vigo's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that José Bordalás will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 12 away league games.
Borja Mayoral is the man of the moment at Getafe right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Villarreal have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against Azulones. Getafe have struggled to break down the El Submarino Amarillo defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Getafe has a very poor track record against Villarreal when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at The Estadio de la Cerámica.
Manu Trigueros is on a hot scoring streak against Getafe, having scored in each of Villarreal's last 3 meetings with them.
Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Eric Bailly (Physical discomfort), Juan Foyth (Thigh), Dani Parejo (Knee), Alfonso Pedraza (Ankle), Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament), Denis Suárez (Hamstring) and Ramón Terrats (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Djené Dakonam (Contusion) and Ilaix Moriba (Muscle) both unavailable and Mauro Arambarri (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Getafe manager José Bordalás will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
