La Liga
The two teams have played each other seven times in the Spanish Primera Division since 2022. Valencia had the edge during this period, winning four times and also kept three clean sheets. Getafe only managed two wins, while one game ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game was two.
Valencia team overview
Valencia suffered a big dip in form last season, finishing 12th, and ended the campaign with a three-match winless streak.
Los Che appear to have made no progress since May as they remain without a win two games into the new campaign.
Carlos Corberán’s team drew 1:1 with Real Sociedad at this stadium before losing 1:0 away to Osasuna last weekend. José Gayà was sent off 22 minutes into last weekend's game, meaning he will miss this weekend's clash with Getafe.
The hosts' absentee list also includes right-back Thierry Correia, who is ruled out until next month due to a cruciate ligament injury.

Getafe team overview
Getafe also had a disappointing end to last season, winning just one of their final eight games whilst suffering seven defeats. Their fans demanded a response and the Deep Blue Ones have delivered.
José Bordalás’s team beat Celta Vigo 2–0 on Matchday 1 despite having only 30 per cent of the ball, and beat Sevilla 2–1 last weekend despite having an even lower percentage.
With both victories coming away from home, Valencia will be hoping for more of the same this week. However, the fact that they have not won at this ground since 2018 is a major concern.

Prediction
Getafe have won both their games so far this season, but they were not particularly impressive, especially given the amount of ball possession in both games. The Deep Blue Ones have also failed to win any of their last eight visits to Mestalla, so a home win is likely. Since four of the last six meetings between the two teams at this stadium produced at least three goals, I'm predicting a 2–1 home win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- The last six meetings between Valencia and Getafe at this ground produced averagely 3.5 goals per game.
- Three of the last four away league games of Getafe ended with three or more goals.
- Valencia failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four games at Mestalla.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
