Previous meetings
The two clubs have met twice in the most recent fixtures between them. On 14 February 2026, the match finished Getafe 2-1 Villarreal. Before that, on 6 December 2025, it ended Villarreal 2-0 Getafe. Each side therefore has one win from those two meetings.

For Getafe, Martin Satriano leads the way with 3 league goals of his own, matching Mikautadze's tally.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to contrasting profiles. Villarreal's 15 league goals are almost double Getafe's 8, and the hosts have conceded 15, one fewer than the visitors' 16.
In their last 5 matches, Villarreal scored in 3, kept a clean sheet in 1, and saw both teams score in 2. Their results in that run have swung between high-scoring wins and defeats in which they failed to score.
Getafe scored in 3 of their last 5 matches, kept no clean sheets, and saw both teams score in 3. The away figures stand out most: no goals in 5 league matches on the road, with 12 conceded. Satriano and his teammates will be looking to change that record.
Villarreal, meanwhile, have only 1 league win from 5 home matches this season, so neither side arrives with strong form at this kind of venue.
