Villarreal coach Setien: We know Getafe will be tough opponents

Villarreal coach Quique Setien recognises Getafe will be difficult opponents tonight.

Getafe go into the game on the back of victory against Valencia last week.

Setien said, “Tomorrow's match is a very important one. We've been on a bad run of results and we need to take three points that will serve as a positive reinforcement. We've had a great week of training and we're going into the game feeling confident.

“They are strong opponents who know what they are doing. They're in the bottom half of the table, but it's not going to be easy. They try to come out fast and they are a solid team defensively and it's not easy to create chances when they defend in their own half because they are consistent."

Gerard Moreno is back in the matchday squad and Setien said: “During these weeks he has gone through a process in which he has been recovering from some small problems he had. In terms of intensity, he's fine. Tomorrow he will be in the squad and we will be able to count on him."

The coach also made an appeal to the home support: “When they are with the team, everything flows differently. Matches are faced in a different way when you have the support of your fans. So far we have always felt the passion of the fans and I am sure that we will continue to have it."
