Getafe vs Valladolid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-11-21 20:00.
[p]Friday night La Liga action is back as two clubs sitting perilously in the standings meet, with Getafe hosting Real Valladolid. Just one point separates these sides, and Getafe fans are surely nervous with their club sitting 17th and without a league win in five (D3, L2), with two of the three sides below them having played fewer games – the exception being Valladolid (19th).Ā [/p]
[p]One of those teams is Valencia, who, due to the devastating flooding in the area, have actually played two fewer games than Getafe and are also the only other club who have scored as few as Getafeās eight league goals so far. One thing that might boost the home crowd though is knowing that Los Azulones survived relegation the only other time this century that they had registered fewer points at this stage of a campaign (six in 2021/22), with their subsequent 14th match of that season seeing them win 4-0![/p]
[p]Itās not like their visitors here have much to be happy about either, as they possess La Ligaās leakiest defence so far this term, having conceded a whopping 25 goals, while they are without a league victory in three (D1, L2). The manner of their eventual 1-1 draw with European participants Athletic Club last time out would have hurt, with the Basque club equalising in the dying minutes for a share of the points. Ā [/p]
[p]Understandably, Valladolid boss Paulo Pezzolano said post-match that his side had been left with āāa bitter tasteāā in the mouth, but despite having lost all but one of their six league away trips this season (W1), things might be about to get sweeter for Los Blanquivioletas, who are currently on a five-game unbeaten H2H streak against Getafe (W3, D2).Ā [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mauro Arambarri might make a late impact, as he has scored three goals in his last six La Liga matches for Getafe, with two of those strikes arriving after the 85th minute! With three goal contributions in his last five league outings (G2, A1), Mamadou Sylla will be one to watch out for, although each of his last three goals in any division have come from the penalty spot.Ā [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Incredibly, Valladolid manager Pezzolano has been booked more often than any La Liga player this season (seven)![/p]
