Rayo Vallecano vs Getafe Prediction & Tips
Vallecano and Getafe play at Estadio de Vallecas in a 9th round La Liga clash. The record of recent direct clashes favors the away team, who in the last 4 matches have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1. The last direct clash between these two teams, on 08-05-2022, ended with a draw by (0-0). Special attention is needed for the home/away condition, as both teams show significantly different results in their home and away matches.
The home team is currently in 10th place with 10 points gained, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, it won at home to Elche by (2-1). In the last match, it lost away to Almería by (3-1). This is a team that curiously presents more positive results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches it registers 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats as a visitor, with 16 goals scored and 18 suffered, against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats at home, with 12 goals scored and 24 suffered. In the last 10 home games Vallecano records 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses. The team has allowed goals to its opponent in 6 of the last 8 games, so it hasn’t shown great defensive solidity, but its attack has scored with regularity, as it has managed to score in 6 of the last 8 games in this competition. In 8 games in this competition, it has conceded the first goal 4 times and has only managed 1 turnover in the scoreboard.
Rayo Vallecano enters this matchday demotivated after an away setback, 3-1, in the visit to the Almería field. The home team’s greatest quality lies in its ability to conduct its offensive onslaughts through fast transitions. From a defensive point of view, the difficulties increase when the opposing team attacks through the wings. Spanish Sergio Camello is the player responsible for putting the opposing defense in danger, and his greatest quality is his finishing. The home coach will not be able to count on Raúl de Tomás because he is not yet authorized to play.
The visiting team is currently in 15th place with 7 points, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost at home to Real Valladolid by (2-3). In the last match, it lost at home to Real Madrid by (0-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when playing with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games they record 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses as visitors, with a total of 13 goals scored and 25 conceded. At home, on the other hand, they have 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, with a total of 11 goals scored and 15 conceded. Their last game as visitors for this competition ended with a victory (0-2) against Osasuna. In their last 10 away games Getafe has won 2, drawn 2 and lost 6. The team has allowed goals to the opposition in 6 of their last 8 games in this competition, so they haven’t been very strong defensively. This is a team that scores few times first: it has only opened the scoring in 2 of its last 8 games for La Liga, of those 2 it has reached half-time in advantage in all and won at the end of the 90′ in all. In 8 games in this competition, it has conceded the first goal 5 times and never managed to turn the score around.
Getafe enters this match unmotivated after a 0-1 home defeat in the reception of Real Madrid. The visiting team often opts to line up in a 5-3-2 tactical system, where it makes the central corridor the chosen path to invest in the offensive sector. In this design, the three men who should occupy the central zone of the field are Ángel Algobia, Luis Milla and Carles Aleñá. It should be noted that the two pieces that will line up in front of the attack are Borja Mayoral and Enes Ural, with emphasis on the latter who is the top scorer of his team. It seems that coach Quique Sánchez Flores will not be able to count on central midfielder Mauro Arambarri because he is currently recovering from an ankle injury.
