Valencia Preview: European chasers
On Christmas Eve, Valencia took the decision to appoint West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan and it has led to an incredible improvement in Los Che as they climb clear of the relegation battle in La Liga and even into the race for the European spots.
The Valencians come into this one on the back of a thrilling 3-2 victory over Las Palmas at Estadio Gran Canaria last weekend in which striker Hugo Duro notched a brace to make it double figures for goals in the league this season for him.
Getafe Preview: Solid Getafe
Jose Bordalas was in charge of a Getafe side that punched, both figuratively and often literally, well above their weight to reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League before then departing for Valencia and sparking a rivalry between the two clubs,
Now back at Getafe, he has a limited and small squad that are once again punching above their weight as they sit in the middle-of-the-table but the visitors come into this one on the back of a poor run of form which continued with a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano last weekend.`

Valencia vs Getafe Prediction
It is once again the Jose Bordalas derby but this is not necessarily a close contest at the moment, despite the fact that Valencia begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just a place above Getafe in the table. The Valencians will fancy their chances of pushing themselves towards European qualification and against a depleted Getafe side, siding with Valencia would appear the way to go for this one, especially at Mestalla.
