NextGOAL tip: Rayo Vallecano (level) · 3 stars
Getafe and Rayo Vallecano come into this match in such similar shape that they are almost indistinguishable. Both have 8 points, and their most recent matches ended with the same scoreline, 1-1, though in different competitions. Getafe picked theirs up in Europe, while Rayo Vallecano picked theirs up in the league. The attacking play of both sides is still not entirely convincing. Getafe have scored only 4 goals in 8 league matches, the lowest figure among the teams at the bottom of the table, while Rayo Vallecano have scored 11 in 7 matches but have also conceded 16, so their defence is the clearer problem. Getafe play with less possession and wait to counter, according to the numbers from their last 10 matches they have around 41% possession, while Rayo Vallecano have an even split of the ball and slightly more shots on target. The pattern of play is likely to be a match where the two sides take turns holding the ball and each waits for a moment from the other side's mistake. The first half may be fairly quiet, because Getafe at home tend to start cautiously, but the second half is likely to open up more as both teams need points to pull away from the bottom of the table.
