Villarreal vs Getafe La Liga preview, Digi Mart USA News: Villarreal host Getafe on Sunday, November 8, 2026, looking to recover from a chastening week. The hosts suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Espanyol last weekend, followed by a 6-0 loss to PSG in midweek, their joint-second heaviest defeat in club history.
Bouncing back will not be straightforward for Villarreal, who have collected 11 of their 12 points this season against the bottom five teams before the current round. The Yellow Submarine have already lost as many home league games this term (3) as they did in the entirety of last season (W15, D1, L3).
Boss Iñigo Pérez, however, has a strong record against opposite number José Bordalás, remaining unbeaten in five managerial meetings (W2, D3). That record offers the home supporters some encouragement ahead of the fixture.
Getafe moved clear of the immediate danger of the bottom three with a 3-1 home win over Sevilla last weekend. Picking up points at home remains essential for a side that has lost all five of its away league games this term.
The most concerning statistic for Getafe is that they have yet to score on the road in La Liga this season. They have managed just 1.8 xG away from home, suggesting they have not come close either.
Their goalless and winless away run in the top flight stretches back into last season (D1, L6), and after a midweek defeat to Brighton in the UEFA Conference League, confidence is likely to be low.
Villarreal are unbeaten in their last seven La Liga home games against Getafe (W5, D2). Extending that run here would secure their longest-ever unbeaten top-flight home head-to-head run.
Villarreal’s last four competitive games were all won by the away side on the day. The hosts have not led a home league game at half-time this term (HT: D4, L1).
Seven of Getafe’s eight La Liga goals this season have arrived after half-time. The visitors have also received a pre-round league-high 39 yellow cards this term.
Villarreal’s Alberto Moleiro has recorded a team-high six La Liga goal contributions this season (2 goals, 4 assists), with his last five goals coming between the 40th and 65th minutes. Getafe’s Johan Mojica returns from a yellow card suspension, having picked up five bookings this La Liga season despite committing just five fouls.
Gerard Moreno and Juan Foyth both missed Villarreal’s match against PSG, while Getafe have no fresh fitness concerns. Full team news is available on the Flashscore match centre.
With Getafe’s scoring problems on the road, a Villarreal win to nil appears the most obvious outcome.
