Predicted Result: Valencia 2 – 0 Getafe
Match Preview: Firstly, Valencia will get the home advantage. In addition to this, Mestalla Stadium is an absolute fortress for the Oranges. They will certainly look for all the 3 points. Thus, I expect Marcelino to go with attacking tactics. Moreover, they will try to dominate from the very beginning to put the opposition under tremendous pressure.
On the contrary, Getafe is definitely a good side. They will certainly try heir best to take something on their way home from Valencia. However, it is not going to be easy for them. In addition to this, they will play as the underdogs. But Jose Bordalas is a believer, which means his side will fight until the last whistle. Nevertheless, they played beautifully in the previous season and would try to recall the memories.
My pick for this game is a victory for Valencia with the help of the two 2nd half strikes. I am also backing their keeper to keep a clean sheet in this clash.
