Valencia vs Getafe: La Liga Prediction (29.08.2025)

On 29 August 2025 at 21:30 CEST, the La Liga third-round match Valencia vs Getafe will take place. Bookmakers see the hosts as slight favorites. Let’s review the current form of both sides and provide our prediction.

Valencia

The Bats failed to turn their clear dominance into victory in the season opener, drawing 1:1 against Real Sociedad. Carlos Corberán’s team looked sharper in attack and created more chances: 2.04 xG versus 0.81 for the Basques. New signing Dani Raba impressed, becoming a key figure in building attacks with his passing and movement.
After a strong second half of last season, fans expected more fireworks this year. But the second round brought disappointment. Visiting Osasuna, Valencia conceded an early goal in the 9th minute and were reduced to 10 men in the 22nd, eventually losing 0:1.

Getafe

Getafe, led by José Bordalás, opened their campaign brightly with a confident 2:0 win over Celta. The team blocked off attacking channels effectively while making the most of their own chances. xG (1.43 vs 0.73) confirmed their deserved win.
In the second match, Getafe continued their strong form against Sevilla. Playing on the counter, they looked more dangerous and sealed a 2:1 away victory.
Bordalás has chosen a 5-3-2 system for the season, which is not purely defensive – wing-backs actively join the attack.

Head-to-head statistics

In their last five meetings, the record is even: both Valencia and Getafe won twice, with one draw. Getafe’s last win over Valencia came in the 2023/24 season. Only 1 of the 5 matches saw more than two goals scored.

Prediction

In the Valencia vs Getafe match, contrary to bookmakers’ expectations, we predict a productive game. Both teams show strong attacking potential but weaknesses in defense.

Our bet: Over 1.5 goals at odds 1.64.
