After the bad start of the season Valencia enters this fixture in excellent form in series of nine-match unbeaten streak recording 5 wins and 4 draws. Their best run since 2019. Under coach Carlos Corberan, they have climbed to within two points of European qualification spots, currently trailing Rayo Vallecano for the UEFA Conference League position. Midfielder Enzo Barrenechea is available for selection, while Max Aarons and Thierry Correia remain sidelined due to injuries. Getafe faces challenges, having suffered four consecutive defeats and failing to score in their last three matches. They are currently 14th in the league, with their form dipping at a critical juncture. Coach Jose Bordalas remains optimistic, highlighting the team's work ethic and determination to secure safety. However, they will be without key players Mauro Arambarri, Djene Dakonam and Uche, all sidelined due to injuries. The last game between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw in the end of last year. Valencia's current form and home advantage position them as favorites in this encounter.
