One of the standout matches of the 29th round of the Spanish La Liga will take place on Sunday at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, where Getafe will host Villarreal. Given the circumstances, betting on goals in this encounter could offer a promising opportunity.
Match Preview
Getafe enters the match in good form, having won two consecutive games with the same 2-1 scoreline. First, they triumphed over Atlético at home, then they secured a hard-fought win against Osasuna away.
These back-to-back victories have moved Pepe Bordalás’ side into the middle of the table, although they remain eight points shy of the European competition spots. Despite this, Getafe has maintained a solid level of stability in recent matches, losing only twice in their last ten La Liga games, with six wins and two draws. However, they are still one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league, averaging just 1.7 goals per game.
Villarreal, on the other hand, is going through a tough period, having lost their last two league matches. They were narrowly beaten by Alaves 0-1 away and then fell 1-2 at home to Real Madrid. Notably, Villarreal has not gone three consecutive La Liga matches without earning points since February 2023.
