Real Valladolid boast a record of four wins, four draws and 21 defeats from their 29 league matches this season, with a total of 16 points leaving them rock bottom of the table, 11 points from the safety of 17th position.

The strugglers have the worst attacking record in the league this season, only finding the back of the net on 19 occasions, while they have the worst defensive record, conceding 65 times, so it is not difficult to understand why it has been so challenging for them this term.

Alvaro Rubio's side held Las Palmas to a 1-1 draw at the end of February, but they have since lost to Valencia, Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad, while it is almost three months since they were last victorious in Spain's top flight.

Real Valladolid finished second in the Segunda Division last season to secure a return to La Liga, so their main goal for this term was to finish higher than 18th, but it does appear that they are destined to drop back down into the second tier.

The White and Violets suffered a 2-0 defeat to Getafe in the reverse match earlier this season, but it was 0-0 when the pair last locked horns at the home of Real Valladolid in La Liga in June 2023.

Getafe, meanwhile, will enter the match off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Villarreal, with that loss following back-to-back wins over Atletico Madrid and Osasuna before the March international break.

The Deep Blue Ones have a record of nine wins, nine draws and 11 defeats from their 29 league matches this season, with 36 points leaving them in 12th spot in the table, two points behind 10th-placed Real Sociedad.

Jose Bordalas' side are actually only four points off Rayo Vallecano in seventh, so there is plenty for them to play for in the final stages of the campaign, and their success this term has been built on a strong defence.

Indeed, Getafe have only conceded 25 times, which is the third-best defensive record behind Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, but finding the back of the net has been a problem, only managing 26 goals in 29 matches, which is the second-worst attacking record.

The capital side have picked up 17 points from their 14 away league matches during the 2024-25 campaign, while Real Valladolid have only 13 points to show from their 14 home La Liga games during the current season.
