Villarreal will host relegation strugglers Getafe this Monday in the 23rd round of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
Villarreal are a team in terrible shape after recording four consecutive losses ahead of this game. The Yellow Submarines have been steadily declining in 2023 and were beaten 4-2 by Mallorca in their last outing.
The loss means they are the side currently with the division’s second-longest losing streak. But they will be hopeful of recording a win here, considering their impressive record against Getafe. Quique Setién’s men are unbeaten in their last eight games against Getafe (W6 D4), while they have lost just one of their last eleven games against teams that started this round 11th or lower.

Getafe are in good form, though, having not lost any of their last three games (W1, D2). Furthermore, they beat Valencia 1-0 in their last outing to end a run of seven games without a win (D2, L5). But the win wasn’t enough to take them out of the relegation zone as they are currently sitting in 19th place, two points behind 17th.
They will now hope to make it back-to-back La Liga wins for the first time in 17 games when they travel to Villarreal. But having lost their last three away head-to-head games by a 1-0 scoreline, we can expect another low-scoring affair with under 2.5 goals.
