#RealValladolidGetafe

Getafe and Valladolid will both be desperate for the win here but for very different reasons. The hosts are in the thick of the relegation scrap now and were it now for a winning streak early on this season, they’d perhaps be propping up the pile right now. Getafe have been much better than that but they now face a real fight with the likes of Sevilla and Valencia to snatch that final Champions League place.

Both sides are likely to line up 4-4-2 here. Getafe haven’t really veered from that approach all season and it has brought them plenty of success. The summer signing of Jaime Mata has pushed them onto another level after they narrowly missed out on Europe in their first season back in La Liga last term. Mata has either scored or created 50% of Getafe’s goals this term and is likely to be their main threat here.

Valladolid meanwhile are a bit like a poor man’s Getafe in truth. They also play 4-4-2 and focus on being tough to break down but they aren’t as good as Geta at either end of the pitch. Not one Valladolid player has scored more than 3 goals nor has anyone created more than 3 in La Liga this term. A lack of attacking quality is their main problem and they are the division’s lowest scorers by some margin.

They continue to hover just above the relegation zone but they really need to find at least a couple of wins from somewhere if they are to be playing top flight football next term. Right now, they don’t look like winning very many football games and this one is no exception.

Real Valladolid vs Getafe Predictions

Score Prediction: 2-0 Getafe

Betting Tip: Getafe Win @ 2.55 with Spin Palace Sports (18+)

Over a year has passed since Getafe lost a league game outside of Madrid. That’s an extraordinary record for a side that was playing second tier football this time two years ago. They have a bit more about them than Valladolid up front and they should be able to edge this one.

Jaime Mata had to fight to get into this Getafe side earlier this term but he has been by far their biggest attacking threat, scoring and creating more goals than any of his teammates.
