Real Valladolid vs Getafe Prediction: Expect a Draw?

It's not a central match, but the encounter between Valladolid and Getafe is expected to be tough. The teams are rivals, fighting for survival. The home side needs only a win on Sunday, while a draw will be fine for their opponents.

After five successive defeats in the Spanish championship, Valladolid beat Barcelona, even though the Catalans had already guaranteed themselves the Spanish league title. After beating Barça, Valladolid drew 0:0 away to Almeria. As a result, Valladolid comes into the final round in 18th place with 39 points, one point less than Celta and Almeria and two points less than Getafe and Valencia. Valladolid's home statistics are 15th in the division, +8=3-7, 21:25 goal difference.

Even a defeat is not critical for Getafe; much will depend on how their rivals play in the parallel matches. However, it is certain that if the Citizens lose on Sunday, they will find themselves below Valladolid in the standings. On Matchday 38, Getafe came to the match with seven points from their last three games: victories over Betis and Osasuna and a draw against Elche. The game against the Pamplona side was a result-oriented encounter, while before that, five matches involving Getafe were draws. The away statistics for Getafe are 15th in the division, +3=5-10, 13:25 goal difference.

Despite a generally poor season, Getafe is a team that knows how to get the result they need, and the Citizens need a draw for Sunday's match, which guarantees the visitors a place in La Liga for next season. It is also worth noting that Getafe comes into the final round in good form, scoring seven points in their last three games. Valladolid has a 36th-round victory over Barcelona and a draw with Almeria. We believe that Getafe will be able to bring at least one point from Valladolid. In this pairing, we are betting that the visitors won't lose.
