Getafe
Getafe have always found consistency elusive, but this season has been particularly punishing for José Bordalás’ side. Currently 17th with just ten points from thirteen games, they risk sliding into the relegation zone if Espanyol win their postponed fixture against Valencia. Adding to the tension, Getafe and Espanyol are set to meet in a critical clash in the coming weeks.
Three months have passed since the beginning of the 2024/25 season, but Getafe have only registered one victory. Their solitary triumph came against Deportivo Alavés on September 28th (2-0), with Milla and Arrambari scoring. Alavés struggled to create clear chances despite taking nine shots.

Getafe lost 1-0 to Girona in their most recent match, which showcased a rare scenario: Bordalás’ men created more chances but lacked the finishing touch.
Getafe are infamous for their controversial playing style. Many coaches accuse José Bordalás of promoting anti-football and his players frequently resort to fouling. Bordalás himself has a history of sideline theatrics, with his fiery temper leading to several dismissals.
Tensions flared when Manuel Pellegrini criticized Getafe’s approach during a match, prompting Bordalás to be sent off after labeling Pellegrini ‘a hypocrite’ during a heated exchange over Getafe’s contentious playing style.
Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid were recently promoted from the Segunda División and have been struggling to adapt to the tempo of La Liga.
They currently sit 19th in the league with just nine points from 13 games. The team struggles to keep up defensively, having already conceded 25 goals. Offensively, things are not much better. The Pucelanos rarely score more than one goal per game, resulting in a meagre total of ten goals.

The 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Hans-Dieter Flick’s Barcelona was a painful reminder of the gulf in class.
With relegation looming, Real Valladolid is under immense pressure to pick up points wherever possible. Winning against Getafe would allow them to temporarily climb out of the drop zone.
Thus far, Valladolid has secured just two victories this season: a narrow 1-0 win over Espanyol in the opening fixture and a 3-2 triumph against Deportivo Alavés last month. For a team desperate to find their footing, the clash against Getafe represents a must-win scenario.
Bet hereGetafe vs Real Valladolid Prediction
- Prediction: Getafe to win
- Odds: 1.68 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Getafe 1-0 Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid lack the clear tactical identity that Getafe possess. In this type of clash, where both teams need the victory, it’s likely to see Getafe take the three points.
Getafe’s home advantage further bolsters their chances of securing all three points. Bordalás’s team is expected to rely on a deep defensive block, patiently waiting for Real Valladolid’s mistakes. Their defensive organization remains a weakness that Getafe will aim to exploit.
Getafe has scored fewer goals but also conceded less, which speaks in their favour.
Getafe vs Real Valladolid Betting Tip
- Pick: Luis Milla to score
- Odds: 9 (22Bet)
Luis Milla has been one of Getafe’s few standout performers this season. As Getafe’s creative playmaker, he bridges defense and attack during transitions.
Milla’s role is arguably one of the most important. He gets limited time on the ball yet has a positive impact on the team. He eases the burden on the double pivot when defending transitions and helps close passing channels.
He only scored once in thirteen games, but Valladolid’s lack of tactical discipline could provide him with an excellent opportunity to score this weekend.
