The team managed by Marcelino, which we are accustomed to seeing in the top five, seems to have been replaced this season. The “Yellow Submarine” currently occupies only the 13th position, with 25 points to their name. Last weekend, Villarreal played an away match against Alaves and ended with a 1-1 draw. Despite conceding in the middle of the first half, Marcelino’s men managed to equalize before halftime. However, they couldn’t do more than that. Consequently, after a recent victory against “Camp Nou,” Villarreal has now played two consecutive draws. It’s worth noting that the “Yellow Submarine” doesn’t perform well at home, with just three victories in 12 matches.
In contrast to their opponent, Getafe is having a season at their usual level. Currently, Jose Bordalas’s team sits in the tenth position in La Liga. After 24 rounds, they have accumulated 33 points. Last weekend, Getafe secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory at home against Celta Vigo. The match proved to be very challenging for the “Dark Blues.” By the end of the first half, Jose Bordalas’s side was leading 2-0 but allowed Celta to equalize. Eventually, Jaime Mata’s precise strike in the 89th minute sealed the victory. Getafe has managed to win only one away match out of the 12 played.
