Getafe
- Getafe have been very poor recently with 4 defeats and 1 draw in their last 5 LaLiga matches to occupy 12th place with 21 points from 19 games.
- Getafe are winless in their last 2 home LaLiga games, losing consecutive matches at the Coliseum.
- Pepe Bordalás has fashioned a robust, physical team at Getafe that is not easy to break down at home.
- They play a compact, narrow 4-4-2 system with a lot of high-intensity pressing, quick and direct counter attacks and an energetic play from their creative midfield heartbeat, Luis Milla, who has 7 assists in 18 LaLiga games this season.
Valencia
- Valencia are 18th with 17 points from the same number of games following a 1-1 home draw against Elche, 11 days after they were thrashed 4-1 at Celta de Vigo.
- Valencia CF have not won away from home in LaLiga 2025/2026, drawing 3 and losing 6 of their 9 away league games, conceding 2.44 goals per game on average.
- A possession-based, high-press 4-3-3 has been Carlos Corberán’s preferred system at the Mestalla where he has a lot of players that can interchange positions to confuse opponents.
Head-to-Head
Since then, Getafe have kept Valencia winless in their previous 2 trips to the Coliseum and will be difficult to beat on Sunday.
Key Players
Valencia do have some quality in forward Hugo Duro , who has 6 goals from 18 LaLiga appearances, but Getafe’s Borja Mayoral has been just as clinical with 4 from 14.
Betting Insights
- Getafe are a slight favourite for the game at 2.54 while Valencia are 3.25 and a draw is 2.72.
- Backing Getafe to win looks the best play here with neither team able to convince enough for me to support in the match result market.
- The Under 2.5 goals market is appealing at 1.35 given both sides’ struggles in front of goal.
Prediction
Both teams have been poor in front of goal this term and I’m not expecting many goals at the Coliseum where Getafe have drawn 2 and lost 4 of their 9 home league games.
