Getafe v Valladolid

Getafe vs Real Valladolid Preview

Getafe were dealt a second defeat on the trot in the Spanish top flight just before the international break when the hosts suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Girona, while Real Valladolid remained in the bottom three places of the La Liga table despite gaining a point in a 1-1 Athletic Bilbao before the break.

Recent back-to-back losses at the hands of Celta Vigo and Girona have resulted in Getafe dropping down the domestic top flight table to a worrying 17th place and just one league position above the relegation zone where they sit level on 10 points apiece with third from bottom outfit, Espanyol.

Getafe have managed to claim just one win to date in this season's La Liga campaign which came in the shape of a solid 2-0 home win against Alaves and although the hosts have also been handed five defeats as well so far this season, points picked up in no fewer than seven draws have helped them avoid being dragged down into the relegation zone thus far.

The bigger picture though isn't exactly a positive one where Getafe are concerned as the hosts have collected just this single win from their previous 18 matches in La Liga, but José Bordalás's side have suffered just one defeat in their last seven games on home soil at their Estadio Coliseum.

Real Valladolid's poor start to this season's La Liga campaign continued just before the international break despite picking up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Athletic Bilbao which wasn't enough to lift the visitors out of the relegation zone.

Although Real Valladolid have actually picked up one more win than their upcoming hosts with their two wins to date being against Espanyol and Alaves respectively, the visitors have also slumped to eight defeats within their 13 league matches played so far this term, thus condemning Paulo Pezzolano's side to a bottom three position in the table.

Real Valladolid had actually produced an encouraging start to this new La Liga campaign as they registered a 1-0 home win against Espanyol on the opening day of the new term but since then, results and form have declined in dramatic fashion.

The visitors have managed to pick up just one further win from their subsequent 12 matches in the domestic top flight whilst also being dealt no fewer than eight defeats in the process, so this upcoming trip to the Estadio Coliseum looks like being another tough assignment for Paulo Pezzolano's side on Friday night. Getafe v Real Valladolid Verdict

Real Valladolid have lost eight out of their last 10 away matches in La Liga and this terrible run of results on the road may hand Getafe the initiative here on Friday night.
