Valencia vs Getafe predictions for this LaLiga clash on Friday at Mestalla Stadium. Valencia and Getafe kick off the 2021-2022 season in Spain, both teams having struggled last season. Who will take the first three points of the season? Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Valencia
After a major economic crisis, Valencia were forced to sell key players last season in order to survive, which resulted in the Valencian team finishing the season in thirteenth place, a much lower position than what would normally be expected.
New signings are few and far between this season too, with the only new face for Valencia being Omar Alderete from Hertha Berlin.
Last season Valencia were the seventh best-performing home team, as 31 of their 43 total points came at Mestalla.
Getafe
A new season has begun for Getafe, but now they are without coach José Bordalás, who got them promoted, and who helped them qualify for the Europa League two seasons ago. Míchel has taken over the role.
Last season, Getafe were the fourth worst-performing away team, having won only three of the 19 games they played away from their grounds.
Getafe have now gone five consecutive games unbeaten against Valencia, with two wins and three draws.

Valencia vs Getafe Predictions
These two teams have similar playing models, and there is a little extra at stake as Gestafe’s former coach is now working with Valencia. Both have a very defensive style of play, and, in their best form, provide stiff opposition. These similarities that we see between the teams leave us expecting a draw in the coming match.
