The final fixture of the weekend in La Liga takes place on Monday the 20th of February between Getafe CF and Valencia.

The match will be played at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and the hosts begin the weekend in 19th place on 19 points while the visitors are just one place above them in the table with 20 points.

Getafe CF come into the game having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga last weekend. It was Rayo Vallecano who opened the scoring in the 38th minute and despite being down to ten men, Getafe CF equalised in the 77th minute of the match.

It was a good point for Getafe CF having had a man sent off but the draw means they have failed to win any of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

They have lost at Barcelona and Sevilla in La Liga plus Levante in the Copa Del Rey. There have also been defeats at home against Espanyol and Real Betis in the league.

However, Getafe CF are undefeated in their last 2 league games having held Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 draw away and Rayo Vallecano at home.

Trends show Getafe CF have won only 1 of their last 8 home La Liga matches. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 league games on home soil.

Valencia make the trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on the back of a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Athletic Club in La Liga last weekend. Valencia opened the scoring after 17 minutes but conceded an equaliser before half time.

Valencia conceded a second goal in the 72nd minute and it did not come as a surprise given recent form.

Trends show Valencia have lost each of their last 5 games in all competitions. There have been 4 defeats in La Liga and Valencia were eliminated from the Copa Del Rey thanks to a 3-1 home defeat by Athletic Club.

Three of the last 4 defeats in La Liga have come away from home and Valencia lost games at Real Valladolid, Real Madrid, and Girona.

Away form in the league shows Valencia have failed to win any of their 6 matches. They have lost each of their last 4 games on the road and have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 away La Liga fixtures.

Team news and Getafe CF are without suspended midfielder Carles Aleña following his red card last weekend. He is the only player unavailable for the hosts.

Valencia travel without the injured duo of Nico González and Jaume Doménech.

We expect to see under 2.5 goals in this game and Valencia could struggle to find the back of the net considering their recent away form. Getafe CF are undefeated in their last 2 home matches and could build on that with a crucial win in this game.
