On Sunday afternoon, Getafe host Villarreal at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, as the visitors look to continue a promising run of form in La Liga.
Getafe have made a highly inconsistent start to the new Spanish top-flight campaign and sit eighth place in the table. A 2-2 draw at Valencia last time out in La Liga means that Jose Bordalas’ team has won just once in their last four outings in the Spanish top-flight.

Despite a number of their most recent games being relatively high-scoring, Getafe’s recent matches have been rather low-scoring, as seven of their previous ten games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Getafe’s recent home record in La Liga is just as inconsistent as their general record, as the club from the capital has won three and lost three of their last six games on home soil.
Their recent league outings at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five outings in La Liga.
Villarreal are sitting pretty in La Liga, third-place and just two points behind the league leaders Real Sociedad. A 2-0 home win over Real Valladolid last time out in La Liga means that the Yellow Submarine are unbeaten in five La Liga matches.
A recent defensive improvement has played a key role in that good run of form, as Unai Emery’s team has kept clean sheets in three of their last four league matches, conceding just once in the process.
If there is one thing that needs to improve if Villarreal are to maintain a Champions League berth then it is their away form, as although they have drawn their last two league games, the visitors have failed to win any of the previous four matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Getafe will end Villarreal’s stellar recent run of form by recording a victory in a low-scoring clash.
