Why Getafe Can Beat Valencia
Getafe has picked up just 19 points from their opening 21 matches, earning four wins, seven draws, and 10 losses. They have found the back of the net 18 times but conceded 28 goals. Of those 19 points, 10 were earned in 11 games on home ground after tallying two wins, four draws, and five losses. Marea Azul is earned five points in the last seven games.
Getafe has put up a real fight over their past four La Liga matches. Their 1-1 draws to Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano are due to late efforts by Enes Unal to push these games to a draw. Those fixtures followed 1-0 losses to both Real Betis and league leader Barcelona, and 2-1 losses to Espanyol and Sevilla. Getafe has a four-game unbeaten streak and is 3-1-1 in the past five home meetings with Valencia; such wins and draws also ended in clean sheets for the Azulones.
Turkish forward Enes Unal leads the team with seven goals and three assists. Borja Mayoral has four goals of his own while Gaston Alvarez and Carles Alena have two each. Alena, Prtu, and Domingos Duarte have two assists each as well. Getafe is fourth in the league in blocks with 277 and has gotten in front of 73 shots, also fourth.
Why Valencia Can Beat Getafe
Valencia needs a massive transformation this season. Los Che is a candidate for regulation with 20 points earned from five wins, five draws, and 11 defeats. Snatching the three points will put Valencia ahead of Almeria and Cadiz
The Bats have scored eight more goals than the hosts, with their even goal differential (26-26) putting them in the top half of the league. However, the Valencians have had a seven-game winless streak since December. Their last win in La Liga was against Real Betis Balompie, where they scored three goals and secured a clean sheet. Valencia is hoping to replicate their last game against Getafe, where they dominated at home, holding the ball for 71% of the match. They had an overwhelming 24-7 edge in shots and a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks. Five different Valencia players scored for the team but they failed to keep a clean sheet after Getafe's Gaston Alvarez squeaked a goal in the 78th minute.
Ruben Baraja still possesses a huge arsenal of options on the field, even with a long injury list in his squad. Edinson Cavani, Nicolas Gonzalez, Jaume Domenech, Thierry Correia, and Samu Castillejo are out while Yunus Musah is doubtful to make an appearance.
Defender Jose Luis Gaya (one goal, two assists) is a dangerous weapon on the outside and leads the league in crosses into the penalty area (18). He will be a lock in the backline, accompanied by Mouctar Diakhaby, Gabriel Paulista, and Dimitri Foulquier. Justin Kluivert, the club's second-best goalscorer, will likely get a start alongside Samuel Lino and Hugo Duro in the front.
Final Getafe-Valencia Prediction & Pick
Getafe's issues at home and Valencia's troubles on their travels make this game a tough one to call. As both teams would like to make their case to get out of relegation, it's fairly safe to call that this game will end in a draw.
Final Getafe-Valencia Prediction & Pick: Draw (+185), Under 2.5 goals (-225)
