Villarreal vs Getafe prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 20, 2024
On Sunday, Villarreal will face Getafe in a match of the 10th round of the Spanish La Liga at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Here is a preview and prediction from the expert team at Dailysports.
Villarreal
The "Yellow Submarine" currently sits comfortably in 4th place in the La Liga standings, holding a two-point lead over their closest competitors. After the international break in September, Villarreal displayed solid form, securing back-to-back away wins over Mallorca (2-1) and Espanyol (2-1), despite suffering a heavy 1-5 home defeat to Barcelona in between those victories.
Recently, Villarreal returned to winning ways with a 3-1 home victory over Las Palmas, though they couldn’t take any points on the road against Real Madrid, losing 0-2. At home, the team has secured two victories from their four matches, losing only once. Notably, the "Both Teams to Score" bet has won in 10 of Villarreal's last 11 La Liga matches, underlining their attacking potential but also vulnerability at the back.
Getafe
Getafe, on the other hand, has struggled at the start of the new season and currently finds itself battling relegation, sitting 16th with a slim margin over the drop zone. In their recent away matches, Getafe failed to secure any points, losing to Betis (1-2) and Barcelona (0-1).
In between these losses, they managed a 1-1 home draw against Leganés. However, they’ve had better results in their recent home fixtures, defeating Alavés (2-0) and drawing 1-1 against Osasuna. In four away matches this season, Getafe has yet to win, with three defeats and one draw against Athletic Bilbao.
