Valencia, Spain — As we dey look forward to the La Liga matchup on Friday night, make we talk about Valencia and Getafe. Dem dey set to battle for points when dem meet for Mestalla, and e fit no sweet for Valencia fans dis time around.
Valencia don start di 2025-26 season like person wey no sabi how to swim – dem draw one and lose one, currently dem dey sit for 14th place with just one point. You fit imagine as dem fans dey sit down dey wonder wetin happen to their team wey once shine like star?
On top di other hand, Getafe don find di groove early for season as dem don gather six points from two matches, dey sit pretty for fourth position. Dem collect dem first win against Celta Vigo (2-0), before dem follow am up with another victory against Sevilla. Na dem dey ride high if you ask me!
Valencia miss big player Jose Gayà wey dey suspended. Naso, dem go dey find way without am – abi dem sabi wetin dem dey do? Getafe on di normal side still dey catch some injury blues, but dem go manage.
Last season, Valencia no get sweet memories as dem finish 12th. E don dey long wey dem dey luk back to di time wey dem dey jostle for top four. But make we no deceive ourselves, e no go easy to enter dat zone without sharp performance.
Getafe, led by dem coach Pepe Bordalás, dey play like dem wan find European spot dis season. Since dem start di season, dem don make some solid additions to di team. Juanmi don join dem from Real Betis, and dem try to keep di best legs wey dey fit help dem make sense of di campaign.
Valencia come dey do dem own like person wey dey sell market but no get product. Their last two matches no show dem say dem fit conquer dis season. Dem lose one match to Osasuna 1-0, and di first match end for 1-1 against Real Sociedad. Wetin dem go do against Getafe now wey don dey gather momentum?
We expect di match to be tight, as both teams go try hold dem ground. Valencia dey try find dem sef, while Getafe dey come home with confidence. But no forget say Valencia dey unbeaten against Getafe for di last three league meetings, including a hefty 3-0 last season.
This match fit turn out to be challenge for Valencia to show say dem fit perform under pressure. If dem no win dis one, e fit dey tough as dem dey prepare for di September international break. Di pressure dey on ground, and we dey anticipate wetin go happen for Mestalla on Friday evening!
