The Spanish league is heating up with each passing day. For most teams, the battle is more complicated than normal. This is due to the fact that they are battling for continental places and other teams are fighting to stay afloat in the league this season. The two teams which emphasize this determining factor is without a doubt Villarreal and Getafe. It would be an interesting fixture to watch.
Getafe has had a wonderful season by their standards this season. They are currently vying for a place in Europe next season. This can be seen in their position in the league this season. So far Getafe sits 7th so far in the league this season. They have also managed to accumulate 25 points in 18 games played so far in the league. This has put Getafe in a very good position to qualify for next year Europa league. This has also left them six points off a champions league spot. They would no doubt know that the only way to keep up is to remain consistent. The match against Villarreal would provide a litmus test for them to taste how far they have come.
There can be no doubt that Villarreal is getting themselves into real trouble in the league this season. They have been in woeful form all season long. The business end of the season is about to commence and they would be looking to change all that with a win against Getafe in their home ground. Villarreal sits 18th in the league after 18 games played so far this season. So far they have only managed to accumulate only 17 points throughout the season. Their goal difference also stands at -4. They would be very much aware that they are at a decisive point in their season. They are six points off Huesca and they are just two points away from the comfort zone. They would be eager no doubt take three points here in order to propel themselves out of the relegation zone.
When it comes to form, pretty decent statistics follows Villarreal. Villarreal has won once in their last six games. However, they have also only lost once in their last six games. This means that the remaining matches which they have played have all ended in draws. They would be hoping to finally turn the continuous draws into wins in order to force their way out of impending trouble this season. Getafe, on the other hand, is facing a somewhat better form. They have won three matches out of their last six. The remaining matches have ended in two draws and a single loss. That loss came last week against Barcelona when they lost at home. They would be hoping that the loss to Barcelona would do little to taint the confidence they have shown in their previous match when they face struggling Villarreal.
It is set to be an amazing match with both teams giving their best to the very final whistle.
