A fascinating showdown in La Liga is set for Friday, as two of the sides sitting just inside the top half of the standings lock horns. Both Getafe and Valencia were handed defeats in their previous matches, and a return to winning ways will be expected this week.
Before Betting On Getafe vs Valencia
There is little to separate Getafe and Valencia in the current standings, with the hosts sitting tenth in the standings and Valencia just a place below in tenth. However, both Spanish clubs will be looking for a response this weekend after being beaten in their previous matches in the Spanish top flight.
Getafe’s record in this fixture would be a slight concern, as they have suffered defeats in two of their last four matches against Valencia. That negative run of results comes after suffering just one loss in ten against their rivals in the competition. However, the hosts haven’t lost in their last four home matches in La Liga against Valencia, keeping clean sheets in all matches over that period.
It is also worth examining Getafe’s excellent record in matches played on a Friday in La Liga. They come into this match having gone 17 without loss in matches played on the final midweek day. That record is the best of any side in the Spanish top-flight.
However, they suffered a 2-0 defeat in their previous match against Las Palmas, and they will be looking to avoid two defeats on the bounce under their current manager. That loss ended an excellent run of form, which saw the Spanish side go eight without defeat in La Liga.
Valencia’s record against sides away from home in the Madrid region is also exceptionally poor, as they have failed to win in 20 visits since a 2-0 success against Getafe in November 2018. That is their longest winless streak in the region during their top-flight history.
