Villarreal take on the visitors Getafe in the round 25 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, February 16th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Villarreal have become one of the disappointments of this season. The Yellow Submarine, of course, didn't fail as badly as Sevilla. Although, on the other hand, it depends on how you look at it. There isn't such a big gap between the clubs, but White Andalusia was among the outsiders even last season, while the Submarines, after letting Unai Emery go in the fall, even climbed to fifth place in La Liga. But after the summer break, everything immediately went wrong. Changes in the coaching staff didn't change much - except that in the Europa League, the Spaniards performed solidly as usual, winning their group. But with Marcelino García Toral back in the project, who had previously successfully coached here, there were plenty of failures, from being eliminated on penalties in the cup by the semi-amateur Unionistas de Salamanca to a goalless draw at home with Cadiz. However, before that, they beat Barcelona 5-3 away. In the last round, on Alaves' field, they settled for a 1-1 draw.

Getafe at the beginning of last calendar year managed to reunite with their most successful coach in recent history - Bordalás. It was Pepe who lifted this team from the Segunda and stopped just one win away from fourth place. With him, the team made it to the Europa League playoffs. And as soon as the specialist left the project, everything slid back to a battle for survival - in fact, they won it last spring under the new-old coach. And in the current season, the suburbans were again among the contenders for European competitions. However, that was until December, which they ended with a fighting draw against their prestigious neighbor, Atletico. After the winter holidays, all that form disappeared somewhere. In the cup, the team lost 1-3 at home to Sevilla, which at the moment seemed clearly preoccupied with the battle for survival. There were also plenty of hiccups in the league, starting with the match against Rayo Vallecano, where there were more red cards than goals conceded. But in the last round, they finally won - 3-2 at home against Celta.
The Blues last won five years ago, at the beginning of 2019. Then they mostly beat the Submarines, but in the last three matches, including this season, there were nil-nil draws. The Yellow Submarine is considered the favorite at home, but they still look extremely unconvincing. Let's bet that the visitors will manage not to lose here.
Prediction for the match: Getafe not to lose (X2).
