The Matchday 29 clash in La Liga between Getafe and Villarreal will take place on March 30 at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium. Getafe vs. Villarreal: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Getafe
The club from the Madrid suburb approaches the upcoming match with two consecutive victories in the league, both with a score of 2-1. First, the team defeated Atletico at home, and then they managed a win against Osasuna away. Interestingly, Getafe has not won three consecutive matches in La Liga since February 2020. Pepe Bordalas' side has climbed to the middle of the standings and is 8 points behind the European competition zone. It is also worth noting that the club's games are the least prolific in the Primera, with an average of 1.7 goals scored per match.
- In the last ten La Liga matches, Getafe has only lost twice (6 wins and 2 draws).
- The club has not scored in the first half in 7 of the last 9 home league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of the last 8 home games in the Primera.
Predicted lineup for Getafe (4-2-3-1)
David Soria – Diego Rico, Omar Alderete, Domingos Duarte, Djene – Mauro Arambarri, Ramon Terrats – Luis Milla, Koba da Costa, Chrisantus Uche – Juanmi.
Midfielder Chrisantus Uche will miss the match due to suspension.
Villarreal
Meanwhile, the Valencians have lost their last two league matches. Marcelino Garcia's side stumbled away against Alaves (0-1) and then lost at home to Real Madrid (1-2). Previously, the club had not lost three consecutive matches in the Primera since February 2023. The team remains in fifth place, but they have fallen 8 points behind the top four. It is noteworthy that Villarreal's matches in the current La Liga are the second most prolific, with an average of 3.2 goals scored per game.
- At least two goals have been scored in 26 of the last 29 league games for the Valencians.
- Villarreal has opened the scoring in 7 of the last 8 matches in the Primera.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in the last five away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Villarreal (4-4-2)
Diego Conde – Sergi Cardona, Logan Costa, Willy Kambwala, Juan Foyth – Santi Comesana, Tajon Buchanan, Alex Baena, Pape Gueye – Ayoze Perez, Nicolas Pepe.
Midfielder Ilias Akhomach is sidelined due to injury.
Match Prediction for Getafe vs. Villarreal
A clash of opponents whose matches feature vastly different average goal counts. I believe defense will prevail in the upcoming match. At Coliseum Alfonso Perez, Getafe has played 14 matches in the current championship: half of them ended in a draw, with an average of 1.5 goals scored. The club from the Madrid suburb rarely scores more than one goal at home and has not conceded two or more goals in 13 of the last 14 home league matches.
A maximum of two goals have been scored in 4 of Villarreal's last 5 away games in the Primera. Additionally, head-to-head matches between these opponents are not known for their spectacle. In the last eight league encounters, more than two goals were scored only twice. Therefore, I prefer the prediction of Total under 2.5 goals.
