Valencia form and stats

Valencia has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio de Mestalla. We remember; it was Espanyol. Valencia haven’t lost a game in 14 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Getafe. In general it's been a long time since Valencia tasted defeat here at Estadio de Mestalla, as they have taken at least one point from their last 16 home games.

Valencia manager Marcelino and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Krasnodar in the Europa League. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Girona.
