Valencia CF vs Getafe Best odds and tips

Valencia CF sit 12th in La Liga 2024-2025 with 42 points from 34 games, while Getafe are one place and three points behind them in 13th. Carlos Corberan has brought a renewed flexibility to the Valencia side since his appointment as head coach in December 2024, but he is a pragmatic manager at heart and the team has played with a back four or back five depending on the opponent. He has instilled a solid organisation and discipline to the players and they have reaped the rewards in some key results that have seen their form improve. Getafe are a much more rigid team under Pepe Bordalas, who has made them a low-block team that are physically strong and disciplined since his return last year. Bordalas’ team have lost four straight matches, conceding defeats to Espanyol, Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano in their last three league outings, so it’s hard to make a case for them here. Valencia are the favourites at 2.099 and Getafe are a long shot at 4.5, but the hosts are clearly the team in form and momentum is everything in soccer.

The hosts have won one and drawn one of their last two home games, while Getafe have won one and lost two of their last three away games. Both of these teams have a similar approach to the game in that they are more comfortable defending than attacking and that usually makes for a cagey match. Getafe have failed to win on their last visit to Valencia CF and the hosts are the team with momentum here, so they should edge a tight contest with a low-scoring outcome. ‘Both Teams To Score – Yes’ is available at 2.20, but given the defensive nature of both sides, it’s unlikely to land. Hugo Duro is Valencia’s main attacking threat with ten goals in 27 La Liga games this season and three of his team’s last seven. Ramon Terrats can provide a spark for Getafe with two of his team’s five goals in their last five matches. André Almeida has also chipped in with some crucial goals and assists for Valencia in recent weeks, while Getafe’s main outlet is central midfielder Mauro Arambarri with nine goals in 32 league games this term.
