Will the positivity at Valencia continue?

Los Murciélagos come into this one having won back-to-back La Liga games, 1-0 at Mallorca and then 3-1 against Granada last weekend.

Gonçalo Guedes, Maxi Gómez and Carlos Soler all scoring in a 14 minute spree in the latter.

More notably, in this period, José Bordalás’ side have reached the Copa del Rey Final, edging out Athletic Club 2-1 on aggregate.

After a 1-1 draw at San Mamés, Guedes’ amazing strike in the second leg ten days ago ensured the 2019 winners will be back fighting for silverware.

Los Che supporters will travel down to Estadio de La Cartuja on 23 April where they’ll take on Real Betis.

If Valencia win that, they’ll qualify for the Europa League group stages but need to stay in the top seven hunt in La Liga, just in case they don’t.

Right now, the Bats are ninth, six point below the European spots.

This’ll be an emotional return to Southern Madrid for Pepe Bordalás who was in charge of Getafe between 2016 and 2021 before leaving last summer.

In this time, he led the club to promotion from the Segunda, followed by three consecutive top-eight finishes and the Europa League round of 16.

Azulones made a catastrophic start to life after Bordalás with their first 11 games of the season yielding just three draws.

Quique Sánchez Flores came in and turned things around, winning six of 11 games between Halloween and 4 February.

But, Getafe are now winless in four, following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Espanyol, so are just three points and three places above the danger zone.

Will the Valencia manager help plunge his former employers into more trouble at Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Pérez?

Statistically, Getafe have the least potent attack in La Liga, making it more remarkable that Enes Ünal has 11 goals to his name this season.

Further still, the Turkish international striker didn’t find the net until 28 October so has actually scored those 11 in his last 16 appearances.

Ünal, of course, will lead the line with one of Sandro, Jaime Mata or Borja Mayoral alongside, it was the latter last weekend.

In midfield, Mauro Arambarri’s injury is a big blow so Nemanja Maksimović could be alongside Florentino and Óscar Rodríguez again.

Left-back Mathí­as Olivera is back after injury and this is a big boost.

First-choice left back José Luis Gayà is currently injured and his understudy Toni Lato then hobbled off last weekend.

So, 19 year old Jesús Vázquez could deputise here.

In goal too, they’re without Jasper Cillessen and Giorgi Mamardashvili so are down to third pick Jaume Doménech who scored an own goal last time out.

At the other end of the pitch, the front five has great balance to it.

Yunus Musah and Carlos Soler in midfield, flanked by Marcos André and Gonçalo Guedes, with Maxi Gómez up front can cause any team problems.

Bryan Gil will, probably, be on the bench but has shone since joining on loan from Tottenham, so much so that Valencia supporters were singing for him to stay already.
