Getafe had an unforgettable night on Gran Canaria – their unbeaten streak in La Liga came to an end in the eighth match, leading to a drop in position in European tournaments. Head coach Jose Bordalas acknowledged that Omar Alderete’s expulsion shortly after the break disrupted the game plan, as the 0-2 defeat to Las Palmas resulted in them not surpassing the Canary Islands club, finishing the round in tenth place. The capital team is level not only in points with another mid-table club, today’s opponent, but also in the number of goals scored and conceded. All of this jeopardizes their position, and a second consecutive season loss might occur for the first time. However, the “Blues” have not lost a single home game in this La Liga season, with all four victories coming against opponents outside the top seven. Unavailable today are Arambari, Carmona, and Unal, who has a knee injury.
Valencia also suffered a defeat in the last round, losing despite scoring the opening goal for the first time this La Liga season when the “Oranges” lost to the high-flying Girona (1-2). Coach Ruben Baraja was “disappointed” not by the efforts but simply by the lack of reward for them, explaining the defeat with some fatigue and the opponent’s brilliant play. Despite earning only one point in the last three La Liga games, Baraja insists that his team still “does everything right.” They may need to do more away to maintain their position in the top half during December, especially against clubs currently not aspiring to European football. The mixed results of the “Bats” away with clubs below them at the start of this round, while inconsistent, at least provide hope for overall success today. Out today are Almeida, Gaya, and Lopez, who has a rib injury. More 100 sure football predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
