Getafe
- Getafe have won three and lost two of their last five matches in LaLiga.
- Pepe Bordalás’ side are the most consistent club in the top-half of the LaLiga table, sitting 6th with 44 points from 33 games, while Iñigo Pérez’s men are 11th with 39 points.
- The Azulejos are the more solid and defensively sound side, conceding just 13 goals in 16 LaLiga home games, an average of 0.81 per game.
Rayo Vallecano
- Rayo Vallecano have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five LaLiga matches.
- Rayo have scored an average of 0.75 goals per game away from home while conceding 1.69 on average, so their away form has been a big factor in why they are five places lower than Getafe.
Head-to-Head
The last three LaLiga head-to-heads have produced one win for Rayo, two draws and no Getafe victories, but Rayo's form away from Vallecas of late has been poor.
Key Players
Getafe don’t have the same kind of goal threat as Rayo, who have in Jorge de Frutos a danger man capable of creating something from nothing with 10 goals in 31 games , but Luis Milla has been the engine for Getafe's attacks, supplying nine assists in 32 appearances .
Betting Insights
Backing Getafe to win at odds of 2.09 is a good play here given the home advantage and their superior consistency this season.
Prediction
- Getafe have the quality and grit to win a tight Madrid derby.
- Getafe’s compactness and ability to absorb pressure and punish the holes left by the Rayo press on the break could see them win.
