Valencia vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-08-28 19:30.
[p]Valencia continue to search for their first win of the season, but fresh memories of their most recent meeting with Getafe may give them the confidence required to kickstart their campaign.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Valencia have stumbled out of the blocks this season, but fought admirably at Osasuna (L 1-0) last Sunday despite a first-half red card forcing a change of formation from head coach Carlos Corberán. Corberán praised the team for rallying, but spirit has not been enough to prevent their winless run in La Liga from stretching to five games (D2, L3) since they defeated Getafe in May. If they cannot repeat that victory here in what is their easiest assignment of the campaign so far according to the odds, there will be cause for concern. [/p]
[p]Getafe have already been a very profitable investment this term, becoming the first club among Europe’s top five leagues to win twice as underdogs in that time after overcoming both Celta Vigo (2-0) and Sevilla (2-1) away from home. Perhaps that should not come as such a surprise, as seven of their 11 La Liga victories in 2024/25 came on the road, but it is nonetheless an uncharacteristically successful start to a campaign for a side that had only once previously won its first two matches in a top-flight season (2006/07 when finishing ninth). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Valencia’s win against Getafe in May (3-0) was their fourth consecutive H2H victory at Mestalla. Getafe’s last win at Valencia was in 2017/18 (D3, L5 since), while the last 15 H2Hs at any venue have been won or drawn by the hosts on the day. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Valencia’s last five La Liga games have each produced under 2.5 total goals, as have five of their last six at home.[/p]

[p]Getafe have won 44% (W8, D2, L8) of La Liga away games as a pre-match outsider since the start of last season.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Arnaut Danjuma is inching closer to a maiden goal for Valencia after recording a game-high 0.39xG in his last appearance and could find the net early on here, with four of his last five goals being his team’s first of the match. Adrián Liso has already delivered results by opening the scoring in Getafe’s two wins this term. [/p]
[p]Valencia’s José Gayà is suspended after his dismissal at Osasuna. Getafe recruit Kiko Femenía missed Monday’s game at Sevilla, but is back in training, so should return soon. [/p]
