Getafe vs Villarreal Prediction 14 February 2026
π Can the "City" side put up a strong challenge against the "Yellow Submarine"? One of the standout fixtures in Saturday's La Liga schedule is the clash between Getafe and Villarreal at the "Coliseum Alfonso PΓ©rez". Despite some inconsistent results, Marcelino's squad still boasts a solid points cushion in their fight for a top-four finish. Meanwhile, the "City" team have also bolstered their standing in recent rounds, pulling away from the relegation zone. Despite being on the road, bookmakers slightly favor Villarreal as the frontrunners.
Head-to-Head
π Let's note that Getafe have been unable to defeat Villarreal since the 2018/19 La Liga season. Back then, the "City team" emerged victorious at the "CerΓ‘mica" with a 2-1 scoreline. Let's take a look at the average scoring of each team over the last 10 head-to-head encounters: the "Dark Blues" average 0.5 goals, while the "Yellow Submarine" averages 1.2. In the first round of the current championship, Villarreal left no chance for Getafe, winning 2-0.
Head-to-head statistics Getafe - Villarreal
Getafe Team Overview
π΅ The "City" team, despite showing glimpses of promise, still struggle to exceed expectations. Currently, Getafe are sitting in 11th place in La Liga's standings, but their cushion from the relegation zone is a slim 4 points. Interestingly, the club from the namesake city can't boast a strong home record-only 12 points from 11 games, ranking them 18th in the league. In 2026, Getafe have yet to secure a victory at the Coliseum Alfonso PΓ©rez. It's worth noting that the "Dark Blues" have one of the least effective attacking lines in the league, averaging just 0.78 goals per game, which ranks 19th.
π In their last La Liga outing, Getafe managed to break a 10-match winless streak in regular time across all competitions, defeating Alaves 2-0. Both teams put in significant effort to keep the game tight, but Getafe were more successful in doing so. Their defenders covered each other well, and smart positional play nullified Alaves' creativity. Spanish midfielder Luis Milla played a crucial role in breaking up play and even provided an assist. The 31-year-old now has 8 assists in 22 league games. The top scorers for the "Dark Blues" are Mauro Arambarri and Borja Mayoral, each with 4 goals.

Villarreal Team Overview
π‘ The "Yellow Submarine" remain within the top four of La Liga, thanks to their consistent performances in the first half of the current season. However, over their last six matches across all competitions, the club from the namesake city has managed just one victory, highlighting that they are not in their best form. Villarreal's efficiency in away fixtures is notable, with 17 points collected from 10 games, ranking them fourth in the league. Additionally, their average statistics for scoring and conceding goals stand at 1.95 goals scored per game and 1.09 conceded.
π In the previous round of the national championship, Villarreal thrashed Espanyol 4-1 at the Estadio de la CerΓ‘mica. This victory marked the first win for the "Yellow Submarine" in their last six matches. Nonetheless, Marcelino's squad did not appear flawless on the field. The emphatic win was largely due to numerous positional errors by their opponents and an unusually high conversion rate from Villarreal's forwards. Despite having an expected goals tally of just 0.76, Villarreal found the back of the net four times against the "Parakeets." Notably, Alberto Moleiro stands out as the most prolific player for the "Yellow Submarine," boasting a record of 9 goals and 4 assists in 22 league appearances.
