Monday Football Tips: Tensions to rise in La Liga six-pointer

• Nine of Valencia's last 10 have been level at half-time

• Getafe average three cards per games this season

• Back 11/4 Bet Builder for relegation scrap

We've got a good old fashioned relegation six-pointer going down in La Liga on Monday night with Getafe hosting Valencia in a crucial basement battle.

Both sides are yet to taste a league victory in 2023, with Valencia entering the game on the back of four straight defeats while Getafe have at least earned back-to-back draws.

It's hard to pick a winner in these games given the sheer lack of any kind of form for either side - this is one where the draw at 15/8 is always of interest.

It's also hard to see too many goals going on the recent trend, with both Getafe home games and Valencia away games having seen four of the last five go under 2.5 goals.

On the other hand it's very easy to see this being a bit of a mess of a game with so much at stake - so it seems sensible to put the old favourite, the half-time draw, put into play at 5/6.

Nine of Valencia's last 10 games have been level at the break and with nobody wanting to make a mistake here then both sides will approach this game with caution.

It stands out as a prime half-time draw candidate.

We need to add to that though, and what better to add in a relegation scrap than cards? Specifically we're talking about Getafe's cards.

Getafe have averaged three cards a game and traditionally they've been a card-happy bunch so four cards here in this big game at 11/10 is well worth backing.

This Bet Builder double looks the perfect way to attack what should be a scrappy relegation battle.
