Getafe - Valencia

The first competition in Spain in this season will get a winner at Wednesday night, when Valencia will face Getafe at Vicente Calderon stadium. It will match between teams which have a completely different season. While Getafe have surprised all football fans with great results in UEFA Cup and Spanish Primera, Valencia have had awful season and only victory in this match could save the season.

Getafe is the youngest club in Priemera. Coppa del Rey final is a great result for a small club from Madrid, where is the kingdom of Madrid’s giants Real and Atletico. They played exciting and exhausting match against Bayern in UEFA Cup and even though they had to play with ten players from fifth minute of the match they were just a step away from next round. Bayern scored two goals in last five minutes in extra time and qualified. Laudrup’s players were in shock, so there were a lot of worries before match against Zaragoza last Sunday. However, Laudrup showed great coaching once more and with a perfect tactics they managed to stay unbeaten. Great performances in the last a couple of seasons are main reason why Getafe have a tons of new supporters. Only Nigerian striker Uche won’t be available for Wednesday’s clash, so Laudrup won’t have much headache with line up.

On the other hand his fellow Koeman has a real headache due to the big pressure on his back after awful results in this season. They recorded three defeats in last three Primera matches and now they are sitting at 14 table position just five points above relegation zone, with just six matches remaining. Koeman’s team have scored only one goal in previous three matches. This is opportunity to save the season due to the fact that they will take a part in UEFA Cup next season if they win here. But, it is a hard to expect a positive result against in form Getafe with a completely disoriented squad. Obviously, Dutchman hasn’t found a formula to reorganize and compose team for great results like we expect from the team won the UEFA Cup competition just a few seasons ago. This is a decisive match for Koeman’s future. If they fail to win he will be sacked, so he has to give his best at Calderon. It is a doubt that players will have same motivation due to bad relations between some players and coach. All players will be available, so Koeman will line up the best eleven.

I expect real battle in mid-field with a lot of tactical tasks for players in the both teams. Getafe will have a huge support due to the fact that match will be played just a 10 miles from their stadium. Laudrup has shown great coaching skills in previous part of the season and he knows what he doing in every minute of the match. On the other hand Koeman lost all hopes in better performances and obviously he doesn’t have enough capabilities to wake up team from Mestalla. Due to the fact that this is a very important match for a both sides they will be reserved and I believe in small number of chances and consequently in small number of goals, so I will take Under 2,5 at 1.65 with Bet365 stake 8.
