Two completely contrasting teams face each other in this match. Villarreal are fighting for a top-three spot and play vibrant, attacking football, while Getafe are focused on moving away from the relegation zone with a strategy built on solid defence.
The hosts enjoy playing brightly and creating numerous chances, as reflected in their total xG of 16.2, producing 17 goals. However, the coaching staff is yet to find the right defensive balance, with large gaps appearing at the back that opponents are quick to exploit. It's worth noting that Villarreal have been quite unlucky; despite only 12.4 xGA, they've conceded 17 goals.
The visitors' defence can't be called exemplary, managing to keep only weak Deportivo Alavés at bay in their last five matches. Their attack generates few opportunities and is even less effective in finishing them. With 8.9 xG, they've scored just six goals.
Last season, both encounters ended in draws, but Villarreal have become much stronger since then. The team can break down almost any defence, so we expect an easy victory for the hosts.
