Getafe vs Valencia Preview: Predictions, Team News, and Lineups

On Sunday afternoon, Valencia seeks their first La Liga victory in nearly two months as they visit Getafe. Currently sitting in 18th place, Los Che are just one point adrift of 17th-placed Mallorca. In contrast, Getafe stands in 12th with a healthier four-point cushion above the relegation zone.

Match Preview: Getafe vs Valencia

Getafe boasts a less than stellar record this season, achieving six wins, three draws, and ten losses in 19 La Liga matches. With a total of 21 points, they currently reside in 12th position. Unfortunately, their form has dipped sharply, with five losses in their last six outings across all competitions. The last league victory was against Elche at the end of November.

Recent Performances

  • Latest match: Lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad on January 9.
  • Last league win: November 2022 against Elche.
  • Goals scored this season: 15 (second-worst in La Liga).

Valencia’s season has been challenging as well. They hold the second-worst away record in La Liga, earning only three points from nine matches without a win. Collectively, Los Che have recorded three wins, eight draws, and eight defeats this season, totaling 17 points.

Importance of the Upcoming Match

Despite their struggles, Valencia found some success in the Copa del Rey, defeating Burgos CF prior to this fixture. However, they have not won in the league since November 21 against Levante. Historically, Valencia has had an edge over Getafe, winning their last two league encounters 3-0.

Getafe

Getafe faces injury concerns with key players Davinchi and Borja Mayoral sidelined. Abdel Abqar and Abu Kamara are doubtful for the match, but the return of Djene Dakonam and Domingos Duarte from suspension will help bolster their lineup.

Valencia

Los Che will be without Mouctar Diakhaby, Thierry Correia, and Julen Agirrezabala due to injuries. Dani Raba’s participation remains uncertain, but striker Hugo Duro returns from suspension and is expected to play a significant role. Arnaut Danjuma is likely to feature prominently in attack.
