The Matchday 3 encounter in La Liga between Valencia and Getafe will take place on August 29 at the Mestalla Stadium. Valencia vs. Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Valencia
Carlos Corberan's side is unlikely to be satisfied with their start in La Liga. In the first round, the team drew 1-1 at home against Real Sociedad, and then lost 0-1 away to Osasuna. As a result, the club's winless streak in the league has extended to five matches – 2 draws and 3 defeats without scoring. Interestingly, before this, Valencia had gone unbeaten in 10 consecutive La Liga matches.
- The club has not lost in 12 of their last 15 games in La Liga (6 wins and 6 draws).
- Valencia has not conceded more than one goal in their last 6 league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 5 of Valencia's last 6 home matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Valencia (4-4-2)
Julen Agirrezabala – César Tárrega, José Luis Gayà, José Manuel Copete, Dimitri Foulquier – Javi Guerra, Luis Rioja, Pepelu, Diego López – Arnaut Danjuma, Dani Raba.
Defender José Luis Gayà will miss the match due to suspension.
Getafe
The club from the suburbs of Madrid surprisingly finds itself among the league leaders. After two rounds, five clubs in La Liga remain unbeaten, including José Bordalás' side. The team started with two consecutive away matches and won both: first defeating Celta 2-0, then Sevilla 2-1.
Midfielder Chrisantus Uche has transferred to Wolverhampton.
- Getafe's uncompromising streak in La Liga stands at 18 matches (8 wins and 10 losses).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in Getafe's last 6 league matches.
- The team has opened the scoring in their last 4 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Getafe (5-4-1)
David Soria – Davinchi, Diego Rico, Djene, Juan Iglesias, Domingos Duarte – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Mario Martin, Chrisantus Uche – Adrian Liso.
Match Prediction: Valencia vs. Getafe
Valencia will put in every effort to secure their first victory of the new season. Currently, the team has only 1 point, but they can improve their tally in the upcoming game, as they have a strong home record. In their last 11 home matches in La Liga, Valencia has lost only twice, and that too against strong opponents – Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao (7 wins and 2 draws).
Additionally, it's worth noting the head-to-head records. Valencia has not lost to Getafe in their last 7 home meetings in La Liga – 4 wins and 3 draws. Furthermore, I expect at least two goals in the match. This level of scoring has occurred in 10 of the last 14 encounters at Valencia's home in La Liga. Also, two or more goals have been scored in 7 of Valencia's last 10 home games and in Getafe's last 4 away league matches.
My prediction – 1X and Total Over 1.5
