Player to watch: Christantus Uche
Getafe will be desperate to keep hold of Christantus Uche after the summer transfer window closes, as the striker has been strongly linked with a potential move to Wolves in the Premier League. Uche found the back of the net in Getafe's opening game of the new 2025/26 La Liga season, and is capable of causing Valencia plenty of problems at the Mestalla on Friday night.
