Villarreal faced a lot of injuries, which seriously affected the team’s game. Backbone performers were out of action and the team suffered two sensitive defeats. First, the hosts were defeated by Barcelona (5:1), and in the last round they were beaten at the Santiago Bernabeu by Real Madrid (2:0).
Getafe has done well in the last two matches. They beat Alaves at home (2-0), and then played to a draw against Osasuna. On the road Bordalas’s wards practically do not take any risks and no more than 4-5 players join the attacks, and the rest close the zones to avoid getting under the counterattack.
Villarreal, despite the problems with the composition, as a team is better than Getafe. Marcelino’s wards have enough means to open up the guests’ defense. They can keep it tight for a long time, but sooner or later they will make a mistake, and the hosts are fine with the realization.
