Villarreal v Getafe

Villarreal vs Getafe Preview

There's domestic action in the Spanish top flight on Friday night and it features this upcoming clash between 13th placed Villarreal and their 10th placed visitors, Getafe, when the two teams meet at the Estadio de la Cerámica with Villarreal looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games overall, while Getafe will be going in search of back-to-back wins following their 3-2 home win against Celta Vigo last weekend.

A four-match unbeaten sequence has helped lift Villarreal up into 13th place in the La Liga table after the hosts have picked up points in draws with Mallorca, Cadiz and Alaves while also recording an impressive and highly entertaining 5-3 victory on the road against high-flying Spanish giants Barcelona.

That victory alone will give Villarreal a real boost ahead of this upcoming encounter with Getafe but overall, league wins in the domestic top flight have been occasional rather than the norm as Marcelino's side have managed to capture just four wins from their previous 19 matches, so the prospects of all three points here on Friday night seem to hang in the balance somewhat.

Goals could feature though as seven of Villarreal's last 10 games in La Liga have produced goals for both teams.

Getafe sit in a mid-table position of 10th place in the Spanish top flight table and find themselves just five points adrift of sixth placed Real Betis and the top six pack ahead of Friday night's trip to the Estadio de la Cerámica where the visitors will be looking to post back-to-back wins following last weekend's 3-2 home win against Celta Vigo.

However, although Getafe have picked up recent wins against Granada and the aforementioned Celta Vigo, these were both registered on home soil at their Estadio Coliseum and they have been Getafe's only highlights within their previous seven matches overall in La Liga.

Results overall have been a mixed bag for Getafe who have won eight, drawn nine and lost seven of their total of 24 league matches to date this term and it's worth noting that the majority of Getafe's league wins this season have been recorded at their Estadio Coliseum where seven of their eight victories have been achieved.

Getafe have therefore struggled for positive results on the road in this season's La Liga campaign and indeed, Jose Bordalas' side have managed to register just the single win on their travels so far which came in the shape of a 3-0 win away at Sevilla.

The goals market looks promising though as seven of Getafe's last 10 away games have resulted with both teams scoring.
