Our Suggested Best Value Bet For This Match
[wptb id=401562]
Best Value Bet Rationale
Mayoral has been a pivotal figure for Getafe this season, showcasing his scoring prowess consistently. With an impressive tally of 8 goals in 15 league appearances, he has emerged as a critical attacking threat. His goal-scoring frequency of approximately every 146 minutes, combined with his average of 1.8 shots per game, underlines his attacking efficiency and direct impact on Getafe’s offensive play.
Getafe’s home form adds another layer to this rationale. Unbeaten at the Estadio Coliseum since April, they have built a fortress at home, with Mayoral playing a significant role in this success. His ability to find the net in crucial moments, as evidenced by his scoring in five of his last seven appearances, makes him a likely candidate to capitalise on Valencia’s defensive frailties, especially considering their shaky away form.
Moreover, Valencia’s defensive record on the road has been less than impressive, conceding in each of their last four away league matches. This vulnerability plays into Mayoral’s strengths, particularly in finding spaces in the penalty area, where he has scored all his eight league goals this season.
Given these factors, the odds for Mayoral to score anytime offer value, considering his form, Getafe’s home advantage, and Valencia’s defensive woes. This bet is subject to change, and as always, T&Cs apply.

Tactical Dynamics:
- Getafe’s Approach: Getafe, under José Bordalás, have demonstrated a solid defensive structure, especially at home. The absence of key players due to injuries and suspensions, however, may force tactical adjustments. Expect a cautious approach, with emphasis on counter-attacks led by Borja Mayoral.
- Valencia’s Conundrum: Ruben Baraja’s Valencia, despite their promising attack, have faltered on their travels. They will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities while exploiting Getafe’s potentially weakened backline.

Key Player Matchups:
- Borja Mayoral vs. Valencia’s defence: Mayoral’s goal-scoring prowess will be key against Valencia’s shaky defence.
- Hugo Duro, Valencia’s leading scorer, against Getafe’s makeshift defence.
Managerial Impact:
- Bordalás’s Defensive Mastery vs. Baraja’s Tactical Flexibility: Bordalás’s ability to organise his team defensively, even with a depleted squad, could stifle Valencia’s attack. Baraja, on the other hand, needs to demonstrate tactical flexibility to break down Getafe’s defence.
Our Take:
- Controversial Opinion: Baraja’s reluctance to adapt his tactics for away games could be Valencia’s downfall in this encounter.
- Criticism: Bordalás’s conservative approach at home, while effective, lacks the attacking flair that could comfortably secure games.
Expected Line-ups:
- Getafe: Soria; Iglesias, Dakonam, Alvarez, Angileri; Greenwood, Milla, Maksimovic, Alena; Mayoral, Latasa.
- Valencia: Mamardashvili; Correia, Mosquera, Paulista, Gasiorowski; Foulquier, Pepelu, Guerra, Perez; Lopez, Duro.
Match Deciders:
- The midfield battle, particularly Getafe’s Luis Milla against Valencia’s Pepelu, could be pivotal.
- Getafe’s tactical adaptability without key defenders versus Valencia’s attacking mindset.
Gameplay Prediction:
Expect a tactically cautious game from Getafe, exploiting Valencia’s vulnerabilities on the counter. Valencia, meanwhile, will aim to control possession and break down Getafe’s defence.
Predictions:
- Match Result: Draw With both teams showing inconsistencies and Getafe’s home strength, a stalemate seems likely.
- Correct Score: 1-1 A low-scoring draw reflects both teams’ recent forms and tactical setups.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Borja Mayoral to Score Mayoral’s recent form makes him a prime candidate to find the net.
- Corner Prediction: Total Corners Over 8.5 Given the attacking intentions and defensive uncertainties, expect a game with several corners.
