Why Staking High on Single Bets Increases Your Chances of Winning

Having narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification to Valencia last season, Getafe are determined to get into Europe’s premier club competition this term. Currently on a six-match winning run in all competitions, and an eight-game unbeaten run, Jose Bordalas’ men are well on the right path.

They have overcome a rocky start to the season to be currently placed 4^th on the league table. Getafe are currently above the likes of Atletico Madrid and Valencia and just six points behind league leaders, F.C Barcelona.

Villarreal, on the other hand, have had a slightly underwhelming season and are placed 13^th on the log. They recently ended a six-game winless run in the league with victory over third placed Sevilla. That victory brought a much needed boost and confidence and Villarreal will be hoping it helps steady their sinking submarine.

Both teams are known for their attacking style of play and we can expect a very interesting game of football here.

Villarreal v Getafe Team News

Villarreal ended a run of six matches without a win with victory over title hopefuls Sevilla in their last match. Despite being outplayed for most of the match, Villarreal were the ones who nicked maximum points with Toko Ekambi’s 74^th minute winner.

This win helped relieve some of the pressure mounting on head coach, Javier Calleja and also continued Villarreal’s impressive performance against La Liga top guns.

Their home record hasn’t been particularly impressive with zero wins in their last three home games. They have only scored one goal in that time. How long till the fans begin to lose patience?

Getafe, on the other hand continued their impressive winning streak with a 2-0 home victory over embattled Real Valladolid. They were surprisingly outplayed by the visitors, who failed to take their chances and were punished accordingly.

Coupled with their streak of wins, Getafe have conceded just one goal in their last six matches and two in the last eight. Furthermore, they are unbeaten in 13 of their last 16 matches away from home and have won their last 3 away games. They have failed to get an away goal in just two games this season. Worrying stats for Villarreal, I must say.

A win for Getafe coupled with other favorable results could see them overtake Sevilla and move up to 3^rd on the log, while Villarreal could potentially move up to 9^th.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Villarreal: Bruno Soriano, Ramiro Guerra, Santiago Cáseres, Giuseppe Rossi.

Getafe: Markel Bergara.

Villarreal vs Getafe Predictions

With Villarreal’s recent poor home record and Getafe’s excellent form away from home, I wouldn’t look past the visitors getting something from this match. Getafe are a highly motivated, in-form side with their sights firmly set on Champions League qualification, while Villarreal will be looking to improve on their home record.

Both sides have a huge chance of winning this match, but with Getafe in irrepressible form at the moment, my money would be on them.
