Valencia vs Getafe

Expert Overview and Match Context

The LaLiga fixture between Valencia and Getafe on May 10th, 2025, shapes up as a classic tight Spanish league contest with low expectations for attacking fireworks. Both teams show a tendency for defensively disciplined performances, as underlined by the average goals scored (1.18), average goals conceded (1.03), and total goals per game (2.21). Disciplinary measures could play a significant role, considering a combined yellow card average of 2.83 per match. With neither side a regular high scorer—and multiple metrics predicting low numbers for goals early and throughout the contest—the smart money is on the game being decided by small margins, defensive discipline, and possibly set pieces or cards.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 85.00

There is a very high likelihood that at least one team will fail to score before halftime. Both teams have robust defensive records in opening phases, and both managers tend to favor conservative tactics early, making the “Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half” a statistically strong option.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 82.00

Getafe’s difficulties in starting on the front foot away from home make a goalless first-half for the away side a very likely scenario, especially against a Valencia team that defends well at Mestalla and concedes fewer goals early on.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 79.00

Late-game openings should also be at a premium, with both teams typically tightening up after the break and often closing matches down, making a repeat of a cagey first half result probable in the second.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 76.00

There is a solid chance that at least one goal is scored in the first half. This is balanced by the earlier metrics, suggesting that if there is a breakthrough, it is likely to be solitary and decisive.

Over 4.5 Cards: 68.00

This match is likely to be hard-fought and physical. With both teams averaging high yellow card counts, expect the referee to reach for his pocket often, especially as tensions rise in a crucial end-of-season tie.

Last Goal Minute 0-72: 68.00

The probability suggests that the final goal will arrive before the 72nd minute, which corresponds with the defensive attitude both teams tend to adopt in closing stages, limiting late drama.

Over 1.5 Goals: 62.00

While both defences are stubborn, there is still a fair chance that at least two goals will be scored collectively, perhaps from set pieces or forced errors, though an explosive goal haul is unlikely.

Under 2.5 Goals: 59.00

This complements the overall pattern—predicting a low-scoring game, with 1 or 2 goals most likely. Both sides struggle to break opposition lines, and tactical discipline ranks highly.

Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 59.00

Valencia have a slight edge to score before halftime, perhaps taking advantage of home support or a set-piece opportunity, even as both sides are not prolific.

Both Teams Not to Score: 56.00

Clean sheets on one or both sides are probable, aligning with the data showing cautious approaches and lack of attacking momentum from either team.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 53.00

Valencia are unlikely to find the net after the break if they don’t start aggressively. Their conservative approach after halftime tends to stifle both own and opposition attacks.

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 53.00

Getafe’s offensive troubles, especially late away from home, support this as a strong selection—they rarely chase games successfully against rigid LaLiga defences.
