Getafe – Rayo

The 12th round of Spanish Primera Division will come to an end today, as we have Monday night football between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano.

Getafe played reasonably well this season considering the lack of talent in the squad, but the hosts have lost their last three matches, a run of bad form that sent them just over the relegation zone, tied with Las Palmas and Levante for the 18th and 19th places. A loss today would actually see Getafe move into the drop zone, so they really need to get something after falling 3-1 at Eibar last round.

Rayo Vallecano is sitting on the 13th place and they have played much better than Getafe lately, winning 2 out of the last 3 matches, including a 2-1 victory over Granada in the last Primera Division round. However, Rayo has struggled playing away from home, where they lost 4 out of 5 matches in the league – the only time they avoided defeat being against relegation strugglers Las Palmas (1-0).

Team news & lineups:

Medran, Alexis and Suarez won`t play for Getafe, while Buendia is questionable. Rayo Vallecano won`t be able to count on Tono, Cobeno and Ze Castro.

Getafe: Guaita – Vigaray, Velazquez, Vergini, Lago – Lacen, Rodriguez – Sarabia, Pedro Leon, Lafita – Vazquez

Rayo Vallecano: Carlos – Tito, Llorente, Dorado, Rat – Trashorras, Baena – Hernandez, Bebe, Embarba – Guerra

Even if Rayo Vallecano didn`t play well away from home this season, they seemed to always get the better of Getafe on the road, winning the last 4 direct meetings at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Looking at the current form of Getafe and their poor level of football, it would not be a surprise if Rayo manages to extend this winning run against them.

Look for a tight game, with neither side wanting to lose and in all honesty a draw would probably suit everybody just fine – Rayo will get a point away from home and stay relatively safe in the table, while Getafe will finally get a break after 3 consecutive losses and avoid falling into the red zone. I expect an evenly matched clash and I don`t see Getafe risking too much for the win. A draw is the most likely scenario, but Rayo could edge this if they have a good day.

My tip is a draw on the “Rayo win no bet” market – meaning we win with a draw and get our stakes back if Rayo wins. Prediction: Getafe – Rayo Vallecano 1-1.
