Hear ye, hear ye! It's Getafe versus Real Valladolid today. Let's get into the numbers that really matter.
Between the goalposts, we've got David Soria patrolling the house for Getafe with a commendable 6.97 rating and 5 saves. Over at Valladolid's end, well, Karl Hein has had a fairly lukewarm season with a 6.50 rating and just 2 saves, slightly ahead of his compatriot Arnau Rafús, who, you could say - has had a lackluster season with no saves yet.
Wondering who might shoot some goals? For Getafe, Ramón Terrats has certainly been the man-about-town with a nifty little 2-goal run and a chunky 7.55 rating. That's where the action is! Then, there's Carles Pérez - his season hasn't been blistering but he has scored and keeps the ball rolling with a pass accuracy uptick to 92.3%. Mauro Arambarri makes the treble with 2 goals under his boots and a rating of 7.03.
Over in Valladolid's camp, Juanmi Latasa's been doing some spectacular legwork with 2 goals, and 4 shots on the old onion bag, albeit with a drop in pass accuracy at 58.8%. Iván Sánchez, on the other hand, may not have opened his goal-scoring account but has kept his house in order with an impressive pass accuracy of 86.7%.
Superstitious fan or not, the past doesn't paint a rosy picture for Valladolid when going up against Getafe. Their last two encounters saw Valladolid score a grand total of... wait for it... 0 goals! Guess they've got a dry well there.
Their overall season records are starkly different too. Getafe's racked up a reasonable 9 wins alongside a fair share of draws and losses. Valladolid, not so much, only 4 wins to their name – well, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, is it?
Now, fastening your seatbelts as we turbocharge into the teams' recent match forms. Getafe seems to be having a bit of a rollercoaster ride with 3 wins and 2 losses, while Valladolid appears to be on a seasonal diet of defeat sandwiches - their only point from the last 5 games coming from a stalemate against Las Palmas.
So, who to place your bets on for the game? Well, let's say Getafe looks like the class stud in this matchup while Valladolid appears to be more of an old mule that's lost its way. Lo and behold, the prediction!
