Getafe vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
In the Spanish subtop, the cracker between Getafe and Villarreal is scheduled for Wednesday evening in the Coliseum. Both teams still have a tiny chance for Champions League qualification, but will probably have to settle for a ticket to the Europa League.
Getafe:
Until the decision to temporarily shut down LaLiga, Getafe was one of the biggest surprises of this season, and the Madrid team could even hope for a final ranking in the Spanish top four. However, since the restart, the blue shirts have only managed to win one of their seven duels, bringing the Champions League dream back into the fridge. Trainer Jose Bordalas was not disappointed after the goalless draw last weekend at Osasuna. “I don’t understand why you keep talking about the Champions League,” he told the media. “That is not our goal at all. It is already great that we are fighting for European football at all. ‘
I can understand Bordalas, because it is actually unimaginable that he manages to keep subtoppers such as Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Valencia behind him with a small club like Getafe. Barely three years ago, the club played on the second level, and unlike many other clubs, it does not have a wealthy foreign owner that it can occasionally fall back on. It is not surprising that things are going a bit less now. With four rounds to go and a five-point lead over number eight Athletic Bilbao, European qualification should in principle not be a problem, although Getafe probably still needs a few points.
Villarreal:
Villarreal’s impressive streak since the restart of five wins and a draw came to a heavy-handed end last weekend, after FC Barcelona proved to be far too strong for the men of trainer Javi Calleja in Ceramica with no less than 1-4. “We did our best, but they were simply superior,” Calleja was honest afterwards. Despite this defeat, Villarreal remained in fifth place, but the yellow shirts saw their deficit at number four Seville increase to six points. Just like Getafe, Villarreal also threatens to grab a ticket for the Champions League.
Unlike Getafe, Villarreal dares to dream openly of the Champions League. “As long as Champions League qualification is theoretically possible, we will continue to fight for it,” said right back Mario Gaspar. That is not very realistic, because besides Getafe-out waiting in this final phase of LaLiga, there are also tough duels against Real Sociedad and Real Madrid. The yellow shirts also face offensive problems, as both Paco Alcacer and Carlos Bacca are not fit. And objectively, a team like Villarreal belongs in the Europa League, instead of the Champions League.
