Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After suffering a 2-1 loss to Barcelona at home ground, Villarreal will be looking to climb to the Europa League berth when they take on Getafe in yet another home fixture. The Yellow Submarine are enjoying a very successful campaign under Unai Emery, but they will have to be at their sharpest in the season finale as well if they are to represent Spain in the Europa League next term. Even though Villarreal have been struggling at their Estadio de las Ceramicas of late, they are still seen as favourites to win Sunday’s clash.
Manu Trigueros is banned for the hosts, while Iborra is likely to miss the game through injury. Los Azulones, on the other hand, gave fans something to cheer about at the weekend, with the team beating Huesca 2-0 on the road. The capital club are determined to secure the La Liga survival, but given the importance of the match for Villarreal, home win should be considered. Both Cabaco and Cucho are likely to miss the game through injuries.
