Coliseum curse, Valencia winless at Getafe since 2018 with 10-1 tally | OneFootball

Valencia have not won at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez since 10 November 2018, when a Dani Parejo penalty secured a 1-0 away win. AS highlights how Getafe have dominated the fixture on their own patch.

The 2018-19 campaign proved a watershed. Both clubs rose from mid-table into a Champions League chase that lasted to the final day. Valencia finished fourth and Getafe fifth, a duel of styles embodied by José Bordalás and Marcelino García Toral, and intensified by a fiery 2019 Copa del Rey tie.

Since Parejo’s 1-0, Getafe have taken four home wins and two draws in the last six league meetings at the Coliseum, plus victory in the first leg of the 2019 Copa quarter-finals. Across this period they have scored 10 times, while Valencia’s attack has largely fallen silent.

Valencia’s only goal in this stretch came last season, Barrenechea’s strike in a 1-1 draw, which ended a lengthy drought but not the winless run.

For Getafe, sustaining this grip has become a point of pride. The Coliseum has turned into a hostile assignment for Valencia regardless of the coach, whether Celades, Javi Gracia, Bordalás during his spell in charge, or Rubén Baraja. With memories of that 2019 Champions League push still vivid, the aim is to extend a sequence that now feels part of the club’s modern identity.
