H2H: Getafe vs Valladolid – Prediction (La Liga

H2H: Getafe vs Valladolid – Comparison.

Getafe’s Ángel has been the game’s last scorer (after the 80th minute) in each of the last two competitive H2Hs held here. Though a second-half talisman himself, Valladolid top scorer Marcos de Sousa has netted all of his three LL goals in the 46th–60th minute period. Getafe have kept a first-half clean sheet in all but one of the previous six LL H2Hs held here.

Getafe Insights.

With just one win from their last ten La Liga (LL) matches (W1, D4, L5), whilst conceding first in all but one of those nine drawn/lost games, Getafe sit just two points above the relegation zone. Encouragingly for them, however, Getafe are unbeaten in their last five LL H2Hs vs Valladolid (W1, D4), their longest such streak against them. After winning their opening three LL home fixtures, the hosts are now winless in their last five (D2, L3), for their worst such run since September 2017. Getafe often suffer from slow starts here, and they have failed to score before HT in 62.5% of their LL home matches this term (HT: W1, D4, L3).

Valladolid Insights.

Visitors Valladolid may have lost just two of their previous eight top-flight fixtures (W3, D3, L2), but they have endured the same start as in the relegation season of 2013/14. Notably, the ‘Pucela’ have failed to win their first LL game in a calendar year across their previous six seasons in the top-flight (D2, L4), since a 3-0 away win vs none other than Getafe in 2008! Failing to win in 11 (D4, L7) of their last 12 away league matches, the visitors will be desperate not to concede first, as their eight won/lost fixtures during that run have witnessed the victorious side on the day score first. Yet, match outsiders have avoided defeat in 60% of Valladolid’s LL games this campaign across all venues (W4, D5, L6).
