13th placed Villarrel bid to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga. They host Getafe who are three places and eight points above them in the table. Villarreal haven't lost in their last four league games but three of them have ended in draws. They are a comfortable eight points above the relegation zone. Their most recent fixture in La Liga saw them come from a goal down to draw 1-1 at Alaves. Last month ended with a memorable 5-3 win away at Barcelona. They led 2-0 but found themselves 3-2 down going into the 84th minute. They equalized and then stunned Barca with goals in the 99th and 102nd minute to get a famous win. That was a rare high scoring game for Villarreal with three of their last four games having under 2.5 goals scored in them. Home form has seen Villarreal win only three of their 12 La Liga games with six defeats. They've only scored 18 goals and under 2.5 goals have been scored in the last two.

Getafe are only five points behind the final European qualification place. They have earned four points from their last two league fixtures and last time out beat Celta Vigo 3-2 at home. Getafe led 2-0, were pegged back but an 89th minute goal gave them the three points. Away form this season in La Liga has produced just one win in 12 games with six being drawn and five lost. 18 goals have been scored in their dozen away league matches. Of their last four games in La Liga, three have seen under 2.5 goals scored and we go for that stat to come up in this match.
