Comments and predictions for Valencia vs Getafe: Pity for the home team

Latest Valencia vs Getafe team information

Valencia will be without Jose Gaya due to his red card against Osasuna, while Alberto Mari and Thierry Correia are also ruled out through injury. Dani Raba and Arnaut Danjuma are likely to partner up front, with Diego Lopez and Luis Rioja operating on the flanks. Hugo Duro remains an alternative. As for Javi Guerra, despite rumours of a move to Manchester United in the summer, he has signed a new contract to remain at Mestalla.

For Getafe, Alex Sancris is suspended again, while Juanmi is doubtful due to fitness. Borja Mayoral could be an option up front, but Adrian Liso – who scored twice against Sevilla – is likely to partner Christantus Uche. The 22-year-old striker has been linked with Wolverhampton but no deal has been agreed, so he is available for Friday.

Latest football commentary Valencia vs Getafe

Valencia started the 2025-26 La Liga season on a positive note, holding Real Sociedad to a 1-1 draw at Mestalla, but were then followed up by a 1-0 defeat to Osasuna in the second round.

With just one point from two games, Carlos Corberan's side are 14th in the table and will be looking for their first win before the September international break. Los Che finished 12th last season and have been out of the top four since 2019, so the road back to the top will be extremely difficult.

Valencia are unbeaten in their last three La Liga meetings with Getafe, including a 3-0 win in the corresponding fixture in 2024-25. In fact, they have not lost at home to Getafe since April 2018, underlining the difficulty the capital club will face. However, Getafe have made an impressive start to the season.

Jose Bordalas's side beat Celta Vigo 2-0 in their opening game, then went on to beat Sevilla 2-1, taking all six points from two games and moving up to fourth in the table. The Blues finished 13th last season and have not finished in the top half since 2019-20, so this result is cause for optimism.

Getafe are known for their solid defence but have struggled to score goals, so the fact they have scored four goals in just two games is a positive sign. With a busy summer transfer window – including new signings Juanmi, Davinchi and Kiko Femenia – and keeping most of their key players, Getafe are well placed to challenge for a European spot. However, they have also lost key centre-back Omar Alderete, who has moved to Sunderland in the Premier League.
