On Sunday night, Valencia hosts Getafe at the Mestalla, as both teams look to bounce back to winning ways in La Liga.
Los Che heads into this game after back-to-back 1-0 defeats in the Spanish top-flight against Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid. The poor early season results mean that Valencia has won just two of their previous 12 matches in La Liga.
