Match Context and Recent Form
Getafe CF, currently positioned 16th in LaLiga, is experiencing a challenging season. Their recent 1-1 draw against Barcelona highlights their resilience despite inconsistency.

Their defensive record is slightly better, having conceded 17 goals in 20 matches. Notably, Getafe has kept a clean sheet in 12 matches, but only 43.33% of their games have seen more than 1.5 goals.
Valencia CF, on the other hand, is on an unbeaten streak across all competitions, including a significant 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad. This win has boosted their morale and league standings. Valencia's recent form includes a mix of victories and draws, demonstrating their ability to compete at a high level. However, their away record this season is concerning, with 0 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses.
