Villarreal vs Getafe prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2020-21

Villarreal are back in action in La Liga with an important fixture this weekend as they take on Getafe at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday. Villarreal have been impressive this season and have a point to prove in this match.

Getafe are in 15th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and are yet to hit their peak this season. The Madrid-based outfit eased past SD Huesca last weekend and will want a similar result from this fixture.

Villarreal, on the other hand, currently find themselves in seventh place in the league table and have been impressive under Unai Emery. The Yellow Submarines edged Arsenal to a 2-1 victory in the Europa League earlier this week and will be confident ahead of this game.
