Getafe take on the visitors Valladolid in the round 14 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, November 22nd at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe shows surprisingly poor results. Not long ago, in the season before last, Getafe found themselves fighting for survival in La Liga. However, the return of head coach José Bordalás, the man who previously elevated the club from Segunda, guided them to a Europa League playoff and even competed for a top-four finish, brought hope. Initially, he kept Getafe in the top flight, and the following season saw improvement, albeit only to 12th place. Expectations were high for further progress, but instead, the "Azulones" have been underwhelming. Their sole victory came against Alavés in late September. Since then, after a series of 1-1 draws, they suffered defeats to both Celta Vigo and Girona. Now sitting in 17th place with just 10 points, Getafe finds themselves on the brink of the relegation zone, sharing their tally with Espanyol.

Real Valladolid is a classic "yo-yo" team. Real Valladolid continues their pattern of alternating between divisions. They lost their place in La Liga in 2023 but quickly bounced back by finishing second in Segunda under the guidance of Paulo Pezzolano. The new campaign started brightly with a win over fellow newcomer Espanyol. However, apart from advancing in the Copa del Rey against lower-league opposition, their league form has been shaky. Their only other win was a 3-2 away victory over Alavés, alongside three draws. Before the international break, Valladolid managed a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao. Moro gave them the lead in the 79th minute, but Athletic equalized through Guruzeta just before the final whistle. Securing just one point instead of three left Valladolid stuck in the relegation zone, with only Valencia below them. However, Valencia has played two fewer games, and Valladolid trails Getafe by just one point.
Real Valladolid has had the upper hand in recent clashes, going unbeaten in the last five encounters with Getafe. This run includes three wins and two draws. Getafe must capitalize on this opportunity to secure a vital win. Bordalás and his team are expected to step up and claim a narrow victory. Getafe’s home advantage and Bordalás’s tactical discipline could give them the edge, but Valladolid’s resilience in recent head-to-heads makes this a tricky fixture. A 1-0 result seems plausible, with the match being decided by a single moment of quality or a set piece. For a side bet, consider a correct score of 1-0 or first-half Under 0.5 goals, as a cautious start is likely.
Prediction for the match: Getafe to win, with Under 2.0 goals in the match.
