Valencia take on Getafe on Friday 21st December at the Mestalla Stadium (Estadio de Mestalla) at 19:00 GMT+0 (20:00 loca time). Valencia currently sit 11th in the Spanish Primera and a win will take them level on points with Getafe who currently sit in 9th. A win for Getafe will see them go 6th and given their recent form, they may will give Valencia something to think about. Getafe managed to beat high flying Malaga 1:0 at home and have since drawn with Real Sociedad and Osasuna. Valencia on the other hand have only managed 1 win in their last 3 in the Primera division suffering losses to Rayo Vallecano and a 5:2 defeat against Real Sociedad.
Valencia’s new manager Ernesto Valverde is aware that Getafe pose a threat to his side. He said “Getafe are having a good season, they are an organised team, with dangerous front players.”
Valencia have dominated Getafe in recent years winning 4 of their last 5 meetings at the Mestalla and for a team that is expected to challenge for a champions league position they need to win on Friday to make inroads on the 7 point gap between them and 4th place Malaga.
Getafe aren’t an easy side to break down and bookmakers have seemingly priced this match up as a “must win” game for Valencia.
Current betting odds – Valencia (8/13) Draw (14/5) Getafe (9/2).
Gamingtips Prediction – Valencia 1:1 Getafe
Valencia can be an excellent footballing side at times however odds of 8/13 seem very short given the fact that Getafe are very good defensively and concede fewer goals than most teams in the Spanish Primera. Given the odds, this match looks like a match to avoid or a small interest in the draw / Getafe at the current odds.
