The Matchday 3 clash 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 likely dissatisfied with their start in La Liga. In the first round, the team drew 1-1 at home against Real Sociedad, followed by a 0-1 away defeat to Osasuna. Consequently, the club's winless streak in the league has extended to five matches – 2 draws and 3 defeats with a clean sheet. Interestingly, before this, Valencia had not lost in 10 consecutive La Liga matches.
- The club has remained unbeaten in 12 of their last 15 La Liga games (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 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Valencia (4-4-2)
Julen Agirrezabala – Cesar Tarrega, Jose Luis Gaya, Jose Manuel Copete, Dimitri Foulquier – Javi Guerra, Luis Rioja, Pepelu, Diego Lopez – Arnaut Danjuma, Dani Raba.
Defender Jose Luis Gaya will miss the match due to suspension.
Getafe
The club from the Madrid suburb has unexpectedly found itself among the league leaders. After two rounds in La Liga, five clubs remain unbeaten, including Jose Bordalas's team. They started with two consecutive away matches, winning both: first against Celta (2-0), then against 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 were scored in Getafe's last 6 La Liga games.
- The team 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.

Valencia vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
Valencia will strive to secure their first victory of the new season. Currently, the team has only one point, but they could add to their tally in the upcoming game, given their strong home form. In their last 11 home matches in La Liga, Valencia has lost only twice, and those were to strong opponents – Atletico and Athletic (7 wins and 2 draws).
Additionally, the head-to-head stats favor Valencia, who have not lost to Getafe in their last 7 home encounters in La Liga – 4 wins and 3 draws. I also expect at least two goals in the match. This level of scoring was present in 10 of the last 14 meetings at Valencia's home in La Liga. Furthermore, two or more goals were 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
