After delivering a winner from the Bundesliga on Friday night, SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Getafe's La Liga showdown with Valencia on Saturday.
Getafe vs Valencia (Saturday, 20:00)
Getafe will be looking to put the breaks on their nosedive down the La Liga table when they play host to Valencia on Saturday night.
Jose Bordalas' side have punched above their weight in recent seasons, however, the Azulones are enduring an underwhelming campaign this time around and go into this clash lying 15th in La Liga and just three points above the relegation zone.
The Madrid-based outfit have lost each of their last four league matches, while Valencia will be targeting back-to-back league wins for the first time this season after their 2-0 victory against Celta Vigo last time out.
However, Javi Gracia's side continue to blow hot and cold, so I'm going to swerve the match result market and instead head to Bet 365‘s Bet Builder.
The 11/10 (Bet 365) combination that I like the look of here is each team to receive over one card and over two Valencia corners.
Bordalas's battle-hardened warriors are averaging 3.46 yellows per game this season – the highest tally in the division by some distance – and when digging a bit deeper it can be seen that Getafe have received at least two bookings in 23/24 La Liga fixtures this season.
Valencia, meanwhile, are averaging 2.13 yellow cards per 90 minutes this season and it's worth noting that this fixture has thrown up some fiery contests over the past few years
A whopping eight yellows and two reds were flashed when these two sides met at the Mestalla earlier this season, not to mention eight of the last nine meetings have seen both respective sides receive two or more cards.
Referee Jorge Vasquez averages just over four bookings per game this term, however, he officiated the reverse fixture and another closely-fought battle looks likely on Saturday.
To boost the Bet Builder price up to 11/10 (Bet 365) I'll throw in over two Valencia corners – the Bats are averaging 4.17 flag kicks per game this season and they have hit 3+ corners in 10 of their last 11 La Liga outings.
