Tonight at 20:00 GMT Valencia will host the match against Getafe for the 23rd day of the Primera Division. This is a crucial match for both teams as at one hand there is Valencia who wants to secure their position in the standings that offer a Champions league ticket and on the other hand there is Getafe that wants to move on the 7th position in order to participate to the UEFA Europa League.

Valencia has suffered two defeats in a row within a week’s time – one defeat for Primera Division from Sporting Gijon by 1-0 and one defeat for Europa League from Club Brugge again by 1-0. They would like to get back in winning track in order to move further in the standings. Currently Valencia is on the third spot with 42 points after 22 matches, way back from the top (Barcelona 58 points) but they are within this year’s target which is a ticket that leads to Champion League tournament. Valencia’s home record is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. The team has scored 19 goals while they conceded 10.

On the other hand, while Getafe made a very strong first round with solid performances and the ability to secure the right results, the team somewhere lost their focus and as a result the dropped back in the 8th position with 32 points after 22 matches. The visible aim for the team is to secure at least the 7th position that offers a UEFA Europa League ticket but in order to do so they much climb above one of Bilbao (36), Mallorca (37) or Coruna (38).

Getafe is not performing well on away matches as they have managed to secure only 3 wins while they suffered 8 defeats. They managed to score 12 goals while they conceded 18. The absence of draws in away matches is a clear indication that the team aims always for the win leaving the defense on second fate. However, as the season has still a long way till the end, Getafe will try to secure as many away points as possible. Nevertheless, this is a very hard task to perform against a team like Valencia despite the first round win by 3-1.

Valencia’s manager will not have the services of Jeremy Mathieu, Bruno, David Navarro and Vicente Rodriguez. On the other hand, the main problem for Getafe’s manager is the absence of the first team scorer Soldado(suspended), Jaime Gavilan(injury) and Mario Alvarez(injury). The good news is that Derek Boateng is fit and most probably will be in the starting eleven.

Our prediction is that Valencia will be able to secure a win against Getafe but this will not be an easy match. Getafe will provide stern opposition and as their striker will be missing they most probably will focus to secure their first away draw. If Valencia performs as they used to then they will be able to prevail but if they produce the kind of display of the last week then they will be in trouble. However, Valencia is a better team; they play at home and posses quality players such as Villa that can make the difference.

Home win for Valencia (the offered betting odds are around 1.55) with a 2-0 score (the offered betting odds are around 6.50).
