Rayo Vallecano will take on Getafe in a crucial La Liga matchup, as both teams are fighting with desperation to avoid the drop and are currently tied in points.
Rayo is on the 16th place, but they are only sitting above Getafe (18th place) because of a better goal difference. Based on the standings and on the fact that Rayo has not won in the last 7 games, their situation seems dramatic. However, stats are a bit misleading, because Rayo is actually playing pretty good football. The hosts lost just 2 times in the last 11 matches, scoring no less than 20 goals. Rayo is on the back of a decent 2-2 draw at Granada and if they keep up their current level of football, relegation really should not be a problem.
Getafe on the other hand is in total disarray. Their last 10 matches were absolutely horrible (2 draws, 8 losses) and the team just doesn`t seem able to get out of this bad run of form. Last time out they drew 1-1 at home with Eibar, but in the last two away matches they lost 0-6 to Barcelona and 0-4 to Las Palmas. Getafe lost all of their last 5 matches on the road, with a goal difference of 2-19! Their stat line on the road this season is 1 win, 2 draws and 11 losses.

Team news & lineups:
Embarba, Ze Castro, Ebert, Jozabed, Tono and Cobeno are out for Rayo, while Piti is doubtful. Getafe can’t count on Velazquez and probably Vigaray.
Rayo Vallecano: Carlos – Quini, Crespo, Llorente, Tito – Baena, Trashorras – Hernandez, Ozbiliz, Bebe – Miku
Getafe: Guaita – Suarez, Vergini, Cala, Pereira – Wanderson, Medran, Lacen, Sarabia – Scepovic – Vazquez
Rayo Vallecano is playing much better football right now and I trust them to claim 3 huge points today. The matchup also looks really good for Rayo – they are one of the most offensive teams in the country, scoring for fun at the moment even against the top sides, while Getafe allowed 10 goals in the last 2 away matches.
My tip is Rayo Vallecano to win, even if they continue to struggle with injuries and suspensions. They are the better team, in much better form, play at home and their attacking strength should make the difference against this leaky Getafe team. Odds are also very good, I reckon that’s because Rayo’s recent stats are a bit misleading, not an accurate representation of their decent performances. Prediction: Rayo Vallecano – Getafe 3-1.
