Valencia – Statistics & current form

Valencia FC are currently in mid-table in the Spanish league. Their most recent match was a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid, in which coach Ruben Baraja’s team performed at a very respectable level. This is particularly noteworthy because Valencia have been forced to cut costs due to their financial problems. The hosts will now be looking for another respectable win against Getafe.

Valencia went into the matchday in eighth place. They have only lost one of their last four games, but have only won one. Statistics can be interpreted in both directions, but in Valencia’s case it is definitely the case that the season is going very well, with small ups and downs. There have been nine defeats and ten wins.

Valencia are doing particularly well at home. Seven of the ten wins have come at home. The points average here is 1.92 points per game. What’s more, Valencia have only conceded eight goals in 13 games at the Mestalla. This compactness could be an important key in this game. Especially because the hosts currently have no personnel concerns in defense and the team is well-rehearsed there

Valencia playing at a good level overall

The total number of goals conceded was 31 and even that is a respectable tally. Valencia also scored 31 goals themselves, especially Hugo Duro, who was the only player to score in double figures. The first leg against Getafe was lost 0:1, which is why the focus is now on revenge.

The Valencia vs Getafe odds show the home side as favorites. Valencia have a good chance of winning this game and should try to control the game, circulate the ball and play Getafe in such a way that their opponents cannot play to their strengths.

If they manage to do that, it will be a game in which there won’t be too many highlights. That’s why our prediction ahead of the Valencia v Getafe game is that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored

Predicted Valencia line-up:

Getafe – Statistics & current form

For FC Getafe, the season has been absolutely decent so far. There have been good moments, less good phases and some reliable constants that ensure that the team is now in a secure midfield position. One of these constants goes by the name of Borja Mayoral. The striker already has 15 league goals to his name and is one of the best attackers in La Liga this season.

The most recent match was a rather unusual one by Getafe standards, with an unusual result. The game against Las Palmas ended 3-3, with a number of dubious phases with and against the ball. The team will have to rectify this if they are to score against Valencia. They have already shown what they can do against this opponent, as the first leg went to Getafe.

Getafe have only lost one of their last five games and are on a high again. However, they have only lost two of their last seven games, against Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Both are therefore manageable. Getafe have scored 36 goals, which is even better than the hosts from Valencia. That’s something to build on

Getafe trailing at the bookmakers

However, there is one specific caveat for this game: Getafe have problems away from home. There has only been one win away from home, where they regularly lack either the necessary final consistency or balance in the game. Getafe have also conceded six of their eight defeats this season away from home. That’s why the roles are distributed the way they are before the game.

The Valencia vs Getafe betting odds show that the bookmakers are not expecting a high-scoring game. Getafe are weaker away from home, have been quite compact of late and Valencia’s good defensive record in home games has already been mentioned.

Due to all the signs and especially the home/away discrepancy between the two teams, our value tip before the Valencia vs Getafe game is that the hosts will win the game

Predicted line-up of Getafe:

Valencia – Getafe head-to-head comparison / H2H record

Valencia and Getafe have met in 42 head-to-head meetings so far. The home side have won 19 of them, while 14 have gone to Getafe, who have also won their last two league games 1-0. 66 goals have been scored by Valencia so far, 54 by Getafe

Valencia – Getafe betting tip

Valencia have a few advantages on their side, first and foremost of course their very good home record. Opponents Getafe, on the other hand, have a poor away record with only one win. That’s why there’s no need to discuss the role of favorites

Because the hosts hardly concede any goals at home, our pre-match prediction for Valencia v Getafe is that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored.
