Villarreal - Getafe team news and expert analysis
The club from La Cerámica finished third last season. Marcelino was dismissed nevertheless, with the failure in the Champions League still fresh in everyone's memory. Under their new coach, Perez, the Spanish side beat Napoli in Europe, but before that they lost to Borussia Dortmund in Dortmund and later, despite leading 2-0, went down to Liverpool. Against PSG, they suffered a humiliating 0-6 defeat! Their record in La Liga has also been far from flawless. They even lost to Espanyol in the most recent round. In the cup, they comfortably defeated Manacor with five unanswered goals.
The Madrid side finished seventh, edging Rayo Vallecano by a single point, 51 to 50. That was enough to earn a place in the Conference League. However, they already encountered problems against Partizan in qualifying. They began the league phase with a draw against Universitatea Craiova, then suffered a heavy 2-5 defeat to Lugano. This week, the Spaniards also lost to Brighton, although by just 0-1. In La Liga, meanwhile, they lose half of their matches. They did beat Sevilla in the most recent round, having advanced in the cup shortly beforehand.
The Champions League participants score an average of 1.36 goals per game in the domestic league and concede exactly the same number. The Madrid club averages just 0.73 goals scored and concedes twice as many, 1.45.
