Villarreal vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-05 13:00.
[p]La Liga’s most in-form side, Villarreal appear primed to continue their hot streak when they host a Getafe side they’ve dominated in recent years.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Villarreal are unlikely contenders in an open La Liga title race, as their best start to a top-flight campaign has them sat five points adrift of defending champions Barcelona with a game in hand. The Yellow Submarine made it five successive league victories after scoring a 95th-minute winner at Real Sociedad last weekend (3-2), and are big favourites to make it six for the second time this calendar year given that they’re unbeaten on home turf in La Liga this term (W6, D1), with only Real Madrid beating them at Estadio de la Cerámica in the league in 2025 (W12, D4).[/p]
[p]A run of three wins from their last five league matches (L2) finds Getafe on the periphery of the European places, with this their best start at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 2019/20. The Azulones were victorious again in midweek Copa del Rey action, but needed extra-time to overcome fourth-tier Navalcarnero. That was a rare road success for Getafe who’ve lost four of their last five league trips (W1), failing to score three times therein, and hardly bodes well here where manager José Bordalás carries plenty of trepidation, having won just three of his 16 meetings with Villarreal at any venue (D4, L9).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Villarreal have avoided defeat in the last 13 H2Hs (W8, D5), and only boast more wins against Valencia (22) in La Liga than Getafe (W21, D9, L8).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only Atlético (15) have opened the scoring more often in La Liga this term than Villarreal (11).[/p]
[p]Villarreal have conceded a league-low three goals before half-time this season.[/p]
[p]Getafe have led just once at half-time in La Liga this season (HT: D9, L4).[/p]
[p]Getafe haven’t drawn an away league match since October 2024 (W10, L11).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Villarreal’s Ayoze Pérez has been involved in three goals in his last two appearances (G1, A2), and could continue that form having scored and assisted in the most recent H2H. Kiko Femenia spent three seasons at Villarreal before moving to Getafe in the summer, and he assisted the only goal in his side’s victory over Elche last week.[/p]
[p]Pape Gueye misses out through suspension here for Villarreal, but Getafe appear to have no new absentees.[/p]
