There is no getting away from the fact that it has been a tough season to date for Quique Sanchez Flores’s side, having picked up just 19 points from 21 matches to sit down in 19th position in the division.
Getafe have not been victorious in Spain’s top flight since the end of December, but they will enter this match off the back of successive draws, holding top-four chasers Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, and their performances in both games would certainly have increased confidence.
The Madrid outfit have struggled at home this season, only picking up 10 points from 11 matches, but they will be facing a Valencia outfit that have won just once on their travels all campaign.
Getafe have not actually beaten Valencia since February 2021, with two of the last three meetings won by Los Che, including a 5-1 success in the reverse fixture earlier this term.
Valencia are six-time Spanish champions and have not played outside of La Liga since the 1986-87 campaign, but they are currently in a serious fight to stay in the top flight.
Indeed, a very tough campaign to date has seen Los Che pick up only 20 points from their first 21 matches, which has left them in 18th position in the table.
Valencia are only one point from the safety of 17th position, though, and will certainly feel that they have more than enough quality to escape the drop zone after the next few matches.
Ruben Baraja was confirmed as Valencia’s head coach on February 14, with the Spaniard back in a managerial role for the first time since leaving Real Zaragoza in November 2020.
Baraja won two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup during his time as a player for the Spanish giants, and the 47-year-old will now be tasked with moving the team away from the relegation zone.
