Valencia - Getafe predictions

Valencia are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Getafe may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Getafe who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

It’s fair to say Valencia impressed in the previous La Liga game. Despite the fact they were playing in front of their own supporters, the odds of 5.70 on them winning were simply too big. That’s exactly why the surprise of them taking a first-half lead was even bigger. Fair enough, they did not manage to keep it until the end but a point from such a difficult game might as well feel like a victory itself.

The away team are hoping for a more conclusive outcome than the 3:3 draw they had to settle for in the previous round. The tie was not entirely unexpected considering the relatively close betting odds, but Getafe had a lead at halftime that they ended up losing before the end.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Getafe’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this La Liga clash tells a different story. Valencia lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.52. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
