Villarreal vs Getafe Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 8 November 2026
🔊 Six goals conceded against PSG, boos from their own fans and a serious discussion about the team’s future - that was Villarreal’s week in Europe. Now Iñigo Pérez needs to restore at least some of the fans’ confidence, and to do that, his side must beat Getafe. The Madrid side also suffered a painful blow in Europe. But the visitors’ main problem lies in La Liga: five away games, five defeats and not a single goal scored. Two teams in need of a win now meet, but both have struggled to convert their chances in recent weeks.
Villarreal have won more than half of their head-to-head meetings
📊 Across 40 head-to-head matches, Villarreal have won 22 times, Getafe have won 9, and another 9 matches have ended in draws. The hosts hold a historical advantage, which is particularly evident in home matches. For example, last December, Villarreal comfortably beat the Madrid side at the Cerámica without conceding. But the February meeting ended in a Getafe win. Interestingly, both teams scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches.

Villarreal: answers needed after heavy defeat to PSG
Three wins, three draws, five defeats and ninth place - Iñigo Pérez’s side are still well short of their expected position in La Liga. Their home record is particularly concerning, with just one win in five matches. At the Estadio de la Cerámica, the hosts have scored six goals and conceded seven. Villarreal failed to score in their last two home league matches against Elche and Espanyol.
The situation became even more unpleasant in midweek. PSG thrashed the Spanish side 6-0, scoring four goals in the first 17 minutes. After the match, Pérez acknowledged that the club must look for the causes of its mistakes primarily in how the team’s play is organised. The match against Getafe will test whether the team can recover quickly from such a blow.

Getafe: all points stay at home
Getafe sit 13th with the same 12 points as Villarreal, but the Madrid side’s results are unusually split. José Bordalás’s team are unbeaten at home, with three wins and three draws. Away from the Coliseum, however, they have lost all five matches by an aggregate score of 0-12. Getafe offer almost no threat on the road, averaging 7.2 shots per match, only 1.4 of them on target.
A week ago, the Madrid side unexpectedly came to life, beating Sevilla 3-1. The win ended a poor run and showed that Bordalás has options going forward. Getafe then failed to score again, losing 0-1 to Brighton in the Conference League. The English side capitalised on one of the defence’s few mistakes, and Getafe never found a response. They now face an away trip to opponents who are also going through a crisis but create more chances than Getafe.

Villarreal
❌ Gerard Moreno, Ilias Akhomach and Juan Foyth will miss the match through injury. Alassane Diatta's participation is in doubt.
Getafe
🚑 Christantus Uche and Juanmi remain sidelined through injury. Zaid Romero has resumed training with the first team, but he is unlikely to feature.
Total Goals Prediction
Getafe have scored just eight goals in 11 rounds - one of the lowest totals in the league. All of their goals have come at home. The Madrid side have failed to score in any of their five away matches, while their opponents have scored an average of 2.4 goals per game against them.
Villarreal have not been prolific at home either. After beating Levante, the hosts failed to score in two consecutive home La Liga matches. Pérez’s defence regularly make mistakes, so Getafe’s first away goal cannot be ruled out. However, the visitors had to play a demanding match against Brighton a few days ago, so they may draw another blank. Bet: Both Teams to Score - No at 1.77*.
Corners Prediction
Over 11 rounds, the hosts have taken 80 corners, or 7.27 per match. Their consistency is particularly impressive: in all five home league matches, they have taken at least 7 corners. Even against Elche and Espanyol, when Villarreal failed to score, Pérez’s players won 10 and 7 corners respectively.
Getafe concede an average of 4.2 corners away from home, but that figure does not reflect the difference in their opponents’ attacking potential. Villarreal take more shots and regularly create dangerous situations. After the heavy defeat to PSG, the hosts need to take the initiative and regain the fans’ trust. Our pick: Villarreal Team Total Corners - Over 5.5 at 1.54*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Getafe are one of the least disciplined teams in La Liga. In 11 rounds, the Madrid side have received 35 yellow cards, compared with Villarreal’s 22. The visitors more often stop opponents’ attacks with hard challenges and have already received 5 red cards this season.
Getafe average 3.6 yellow cards per away match. Villarreal’s home average is just 1.8. The Madrid side have received at least three yellow cards in each of their five away matches. After a demanding week in Europe, the visitors may be slower than the hosts, and attempts to disrupt the tempo will almost certainly lead to more yellow cards. We’re backing Getafe to receive more yellow cards than Villarreal.
*The odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Villarreal suffered a painful blow against PSG, but the upcoming match offers a good opportunity to put things right. Despite their setbacks at home, Pérez's side continue to create chances and regularly turn attacks into shots. Against Getafe, who concede more than two goals per game away from home, the hosts are capable of ending their goalless run.
The visitors have a chance to pick up points through patient play without the ball. But all five of their previous away league matches ended in defeat, and they failed to score in any of them. The additional workload after the Conference League is unlikely to help the Madrid side solve this problem. Villarreal are more likely to win, although after two home matches without a goal, a rout is not to be expected. Correct score prediction: 1-0. Main bet: Both Teams to Score - No.
