Getafe – Valencia : Preview & Prediction
Getafe, in 15th, are under threat from the relegation zone as 18th-placed Cadiz, the first relegation zone, have taken four points from Quique Sanchez Flores’ side to move to within three. The club from the southern suburbs of Madrid have been struggling for the last four games and are progressing at a relegation rate.

After losing 4-3 to Atletico in Madrid, Getafe drew 1-1 at Cadiz CF and 2-2 at Alaves before losing 2-0 at Espanyol last weekend.
