Villarreal host Getafe in La Liga on Sunday, November 8, with kick-off at 17:30 local time at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The teams have identical league records of three wins, three draws and five defeats, although Villarreal sit ninth and Getafe 13th. Neither arrives in convincing form: Villarreal have lost twice in succession without scoring, most recently 6-0 against Paris Saint Germain, while Getafe followed a league comeback win over Sevilla with a 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. The visitors’ away record is particularly striking. They have lost all five of their La Liga trips this season without scoring, giving Villarreal an opportunity to respond to their recent setbacks.

Villarreal’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Villarreal have won two and lost three of their last five matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 2.4 conceded across that stretch. Those figures reflect a side capable of scoring but also vulnerable at the back. Their latest two results were a 1-0 home league defeat to Espanyol and a 6-0 home loss to Paris Saint Germain on November 3. After failing to score in either game, they return to the same ground looking for a sharper attacking display.

The results leading into those defeats show how much Villarreal’s performances have varied. They won 2-1 away to Valencia and 5-0 at Manacor in the Copa del Rey, but also lost 4-3 at Anfield. A 0-0 draw with Elche, a 3-1 victory over Napoli and a 1-0 defeat at the Bernabéu add to a mixed sequence across competitions. In La Liga this season, Villarreal average 1.4 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per match.

Defensive consistency remains a concern ahead of this Villarreal vs Getafe fixture. Villarreal have conceded at least once in 24 of their last 25 La Liga matches and in 37 of their last 40 matches across competitions. Their games have also regularly produced corners: more than 7.5 have been taken in each of their last 22 matches, their last 17 La Liga matches and their last 17 home matches. Alassane Diatta is unavailable through injury, while the availability of Foyth, Gerard Moreno and Akhomach has not been confirmed.

Getafe’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Getafe also have two wins and three defeats from their last five matches. They average 1.6 goals scored and 2.6 conceded over that period. Their most recent league outing was a 3-1 comeback victory against Sevilla, but they could not build on it in Thursday’s Conference match, losing 1-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on November 5. That leaves them with less time between matches than Villarreal, whose defeat to Paris Saint Germain came on November 3.

In the league, Getafe average 0.7 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per match. Their home comeback against Sevilla offered encouragement, but their results on the road present a much tougher picture: five away La Liga matches, five defeats and no goals scored. Turning that record around is the clearest challenge facing the visitors on Sunday.

Getafe’s first-half results add another concern. They have been behind at half-time in each of their last four La Liga away games, each of their last four league matches overall and six of their last ten matches. At least one team has failed to score before the break in each of Getafe’s last 33 La Liga fixtures. Zaid Romero, Uche and Juanmi Jiménez are listed as injured.

Villarreal vs Getafe Match Analysis

The two sides are level on league points and share the same win-draw-loss record, so Villarreal’s higher position alone does not tell the story. The hosts have just suffered consecutive defeats at the Estadio de la Cerámica, conceding seven goals without reply. Getafe, meanwhile, have a recent league win to draw on but have yet to find a way to score away from home in La Liga. The match brings together a Villarreal side seeking a response and a Getafe side seeking its first away league goal.

Villarreal’s defensive record means a clean sheet cannot be taken for granted. They have conceded in almost every recent league match, and both teams have averaged more than two goals conceded across their respective last five games in all competitions. Yet Getafe’s goalless away sequence is a significant counterweight to that concern. If Villarreal can recover some of the scoring form shown against Valencia and Manacor, they have a clear chance to put pressure on a visitor that has lost every league trip so far.

The supplied head-to-head record is close: across the last five meetings, Villarreal have two wins, Getafe one, and two matches have ended level. Their latest encounter finished 2-1 on February 14, 2026. For this meeting, the strongest distinction is not their identical league records but their immediate circumstances: Villarreal are coming off a heavy defeat and must improve at home, while Getafe need to overcome a five-match away losing run without a goal. That contrast gives the hosts an edge, even if their recent defending leaves room for caution.
