The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Villarreal take on Getafe on Sunday. Both teams have struggled this season and have a point to prove this weekend.
Villarreal are in 13th place in the La Liga standings and have failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Yellow Submarines suffered a 2-0 defeat against Valencia in their previous league game and will need to bounce back in this match.
Getafe, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have endured a miserable league campaign. The Madrid-based outfit edged Espanyol to a 2-1 victory last week and will want a similar result in this fixture.
