The Matchday 29 clash in La Liga between Getafe and Villarreal will take place on March 30 at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium. Getafe vs. Villarreal: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Getafe
The club from the suburbs of Madrid comes into the upcoming match with two consecutive victories in the league, both with a score of 2-1. First, the team defeated Atletico at home, and then managed an away win against Osasuna. Interestingly, Getafe hadn't won three consecutive matches in La Liga since February 2020. Pepe Bordalas' side has climbed to the middle of the standings and is 8 points behind the European competition zone. It is also worth noting that the team's games are the lowest-scoring in La Liga, with an average of 1.7 goals scored.
- In the last ten La Liga matches, Getafe has lost only twice (6 wins and 2 draws).
- The club did not score in the first half in 7 of their last 9 home league matches.
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of the team's last 8 home games in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Getafe (4-2-3-1)
David Soria – Diego Rico, Omar Alderete, Domingos Duarte, Djene – Mauro Arambarri, Ramon Terrats – Luis Milla, Koba da Costa, Chrisantus Uche – Juanmi.

Villarreal
The Valencians, however, have lost their last two league matches. Marcelino Garcia's side stumbled away to Alaves (0-1) and then lost at home to Real Madrid (1-2). The club hadn't gone three matches unbeaten in La Liga since February 2023. The team remains in fifth place, but the gap to the top four has widened to 8 points. It is worth noting that Villarreal's matches in the current La Liga season are the second most prolific, with an average of 3.2 goals scored.
- At least two goals have been scored in 26 of Villarreal's last 29 league matches.

Getafe vs. Villarreal: Match Prediction
This encounter features opponents whose matches typically see a contrasting number of goals. I believe that defense will prevail in the upcoming match. At the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, Getafe has played 14 matches in the current championship: half of them ended in a draw, with an average goal count of 1.5. The club from the suburbs of Madrid rarely scores more than one goal at home, and they have not conceded two or more goals in 13 of their last 14 home league matches.
A maximum of two goals have also been scored in 4 of Villarreal's last 5 away games in La Liga. Moreover, the head-to-head matches between these opponents are not known for their spectacle. In the last eight encounters in the league, more than two goals were scored only twice. Therefore, I prefer the prediction of Total under 2.5 goals.
