Getafe v Villarreal Betting Tips [18 May 2019]
The match
The surprise package of La Liga season this year are Getafe (fifth, 58 points), who have a great chance of finishing in the top-four going into their final match against Villarreal (14th, 43 points). Having spent most of the campaign in fourth, Getafe will feel that they deserve to finish there, but the hosts need to better Valencia’s result (against Real Valladolid) to make it to the top-tier European competition. Unfortunately for them, they had to face a strong Barcelona side last weekend and fell to a 2-0 loss which meant they fell behind Valencia. The worry for Getafe is their inability to close out matches, as can be seen from their run of just three wins in ten league games (W3, D4, L3). Seven of these ten games saw a clean sheet on either (or both) sides, which could once again be the theme here. Villarreal have secured their La Liga safety with a 1-0 win over Eibar last time around. It has been a very disappointing season for the ‘Yellow Submarine’, considering they spent most of the time languishing in the bottom half. However, most of their wins have come at home (12 wins in 15 competitive home games), while they have struggled on the road (four losses in their last six away games).
Key Statistics
- Seven of Getafe’s last ten La Liga games have produced under 2.5 match goals.
- Getafe have won seven of their last nine La Liga home games, losing just once.
- Villarreal have failed to win 12 of their last 15 La Liga away games this season.
The bet of our experts
Getafe do not have their fortunes in their hands, but will go for a win considering they have won 11 of their 18 home fixtures this season. They have the second-best defensive record of the league (11 goals conceded) and will fancy their chances of a clean sheet here. Villarreal have struggled on the road aside from the fact that their safety is already guaranteed. This could be a dull encounter for goals and don’t be surprised if Getafe wins with a clean sheet.
