Villarreal - Getafe predictions

Villarreal are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Getafe may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.74 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The previous round was fairly uneventful for both Villarreal and Deportivo Alavés , the opposing home team. Considering an away win was priced at 2.29 with most top online bookies, however, a 1:1 draw is a positive result for Villarreal.

Getafe confirmed the HT/FT market in the previous round with a narrow 3:2 victory. The pre-match betting odds for them winning were set at 4.00, which means it wasn’t the easiest of matchups either.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Estadio de la Cerámica this Friday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Our confidence that Getafe will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Getafe this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Juan Foyth, Pedraza, Denis Suárez, Ramón Terrats, Eric Bailly will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Friday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.96.
