Valencia are same effective. 15 of their 20 league clashes saw under 2.5 goals, and 19 of 20 fixtures featured under 3.5 goals. The team are balanced – they neither score much, nor allow much. Their tally is 18 goals made and 18 goals missed in 20 rounds.
The sides have already met in this run. Valencia appeared stronger – they took a win by a minimum goal margin, 1:0, away. So, Getafe’s side will be keen to revenge – they cannot afford losing to Valencia once again. The hosts are generally confident on their turf (5-1-4). Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Levante, and Valencia were victorious at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. The solid Real Betis, Alaves, and Real Sociedad left with no points from there. In 6 of 10 home encounters, Getafe played ‘to nil’. In the previous cup stage, Getafe won Real Valladolid in their own manner. They celebrated a diligent 1:0 win in the first leg, as they netted yet on the 92nd minute, though the hosts were fine with a goalless draw then. Valencia’s outlook in the cup is foggy. They presently take the 9th line in the league standings, and it is far more reasonable for them to concentrate on this competition. Missing European spots is a failure for a club like Valencia. Moreover, the team are not blistering in outings (3-4-3). Some squad rotation is possible. The 1/8 Final clash with Sporting Lisbon was illustrative when Valencia lost 1:2 away and then sorted it all out at home. As to us, the ‘Bats’ will not count much on the coming clash’s result, relying on the home leg instead. Getafe will demonstrate the utmost security in their defense tomorrow. The team face no problems in the league, so they can fight for the semi-final of the Copa del Rey. For this, they need not to fail in the home encounter, playing in their own underscoring style.
Prediction for the match: Getafe to win with a +0.5 handicap & Under 3.5 goals.
