Getafe vs Valencia. Forecast (odds 3.80) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship

Current form

Wins have not been easy for La Liga strugglers Getafe and Valencia this campaign, and while it may be too early to call this clash a ‘six-point game’, a positive result could prove decisive for both. The lack of goals has proven their collective failure, with each scoring just seven goals after 10 games, but that has not stopped the Blues from avoiding defeat in their first five home league games of the top-flight season for only the third time in their history. Turning those draws into wins will be the next target for the Azulones, and they should be confident of doing so, having managed to avoid defeat in each of their last five encounters on home soil.

Injuries and disqualifications

Mayor will not be able to help his team today (muscle injury).

Interesting trends for betting

• Only Las Palmas (eight) and Celta Vigo (seven) have conceded opening La Liga goals more often than Getafe (six) heading into the round.
• Getafe Mauro Arambarri has scored three goals and picked up four bookings in his last six matches. His five head-to-head wins against Valencica are his most against any opponent, but he has also picked up seven yellow cards and been sent off twice against the Bats.

Estimated line-up : Soria - Alderte, Djene, Iguesias Sanchez - Sola, Santiago, Mila, Rivera, Alena - Gomez, Uche.

Current form

A disastrous performance that left Valencia down to ten men against struggling rivals Las Palmas (2-3) left Los Ches bottom of the La Liga table. Club boss and legend Ruben Baraja called for “unity” following the outburst after fans protested against the club’s owners, but with his side aiming for the second-highest points tally at this stage of the season (six), their fury is understandable. Resuscitating his side must be at the top of Baraja’s agenda, as Valencia have picked up just one point away from home this season, scoring just one goal.

Disqualifications and injuries

Vazquez (muscle injury), Diakhaby (knee injury), Domenech (muscle injury), Pepelu (red card) and Mir (muscle injury) will not be able to play today.

Interesting trends for betting

• Los Ches welcomed the return of captain Jose Gaya after a lengthy injury lay-off last week and he recorded an assist within 30 minutes of his return.
• The visitors have failed to win any of their last three visits to the Madrid region, failing to score in any of the three.

Estimated line-up : Mamardashvili – Casioro, Tarrega, Garciorovsky, Correa – Almeida, Guillaumont, Lopez, Tejon – Duro, Rioja.
