Prediction and how to watch for Villarreal vs Getafe: everything you need to know before the game.

Villarreal host Getafe at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday 8 November, with kick-off at 11:30 Mexico City time, in LaLiga matchday 12.

The hosts are 10th, while the visitors sit 13th. Both teams have 12 points after 11 games.

Match preview

Villarreal are in a poor run of form. They lost 6-0 to Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League on 3 November, four days after a 1-0 home defeat to Espanyol. They have lost three of their last five games in all competitions.

Home form is the main concern. In five league games at La Cerámica, they have one win, one draw and three defeats, scoring six and conceding seven.

Before that slump, the Yellow Submarine won 2-1 at Valencia on 24 October and thrashed Manacor 5-0 in the Copa del Rey. They also lost 4-3 at Liverpool in the Champions League. Away from home, they have two wins, two draws and two defeats.

Georges Mikautadze leads the scoring with three goals, according to Asesorías Fantasy. However, Villarreal failed to score against Espanyol and PSG and are without a goal in their last two matches.

Getafe are also coming off a European setback. They lost 1-0 to Brighton in the Conference League on 5 November, having been beaten 5-2 by Lugano in the same competition.

In LaLiga, they beat Sevilla 3-1 on 1 November, following a 4-0 loss at Athletic Club. In between, they edged past Lebrijana 3-2 in the Copa del Rey.

Their problem is away from the Coliseum. On the road, José Bordalás' side have lost all five league games, failed to score and shipped 12 goals. At home they are unbeaten, with three wins and three draws.

Getafe's goal difference is minus eight, compared with zero for Villarreal, yet both sides have 12 points from 11 games.

Recent meetings have been tight. Of the last five LaLiga encounters, Villarreal have won two, Getafe one and two were drawn. Getafe won the latest 2-1 on 14 February 2026, while Villarreal won 2-0 at home in December 2025.

A win would take either side to 15 points, while a draw would leave both on 13.

Team news

Villarreal have several absentees. Alassane Diatta underwent surgery on 5 November for a hamstring injury and is estimated to be out for around five months. Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach are confirmed absentees for this round, according to FútbolFantasy. Juan Foyth is listed as out by some outlets and as a doubt by others.

Gulácsi is expected to keep his place in goal. Previews point to Pau Navarro, Renato Veiga and Sergi Cardona in defence, with Freeman or Mouriño on the right. Comesaña and Pape Gueye are favourites in midfield, while Mikautadze is gaining ground as the focal point of the attack.

For Getafe, Christantus Uche remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament and meniscus tear, with a return expected in May 2027. Zaid Romero is a doubt with a quadriceps problem, and his absence has hurt the visitors' defence.

Our prediction

Villarreal1 - 0Getafe

46%Villarreal29%Draw25%Getafe

We expect Villarreal to edge it 1-0. Getafe have not scored a single league goal away from home and arrive with European fatigue and defensive doubts. The Yellow Submarine are struggling, but home advantage and the visitors' absences should tilt a tight contest in the hosts' favour.
