Getafe v Rayo Vallecano

Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano Preview

Eighth placed Getafe will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Spanish top flight to four games when they play host to 11th placed Rayo Vallecano at their Estadio Coliseum on Tuesday afternoon after recording a 3-3 draw away from home at Atletico Madrid while Rayo Vallecano slumped to a third defeat in four games as their winless run in La Liga continued last time out.

Getafe head into this upcoming clash with mid-table Rayo Vallecano on the back of two wins and a draw as the hosts have registered important wins against Valencia and Sevilla along with gaining a point in a draw with Atletico Madrid which should give Jose Bordalas' side plenty of confidence ahead of this clash on Tuesday afternoon.

Results overall have been very steady indeed for Getafe in the domestic top flight as the hosts have been handed just the one defeat from their previous 12 matches overall which came in the form of a 2-0 defeat away from home at Las Palmas but the hosts have also collected four wins and picked up points in seven draws which has helped Getafe up into eighth place.

The bigger picture shows Getafe are unbeaten in their last 11 home games but goals could be a little thin on the ground here as eight of Getafe's 11 home games have resulted in Under 2.5 goals (72%).

Rayo Vallecano's winless run in La Liga was extended to a dismal eight games last time out as the visitors were dealt a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Valencia which became a third defeat in four games overall for Francisco's side.

Previous losses to Athletic Bilbao, Osasuna and Valencia suggest this upcoming trip to the Estadio Coliseum to face a solid and consistent Getafe outfit may also end in further disappointment especially as Rayo Vallecano have managed to capture just four wins within their 18 league matches so far in this season's La Liga campaign.

The one glimmer of hope in Rayo Vallecano's favour is the fact that three of these four wins to date this season have been achieved on their travels with wins collected at Almeria, Granada and Las Palmas, although it should be noted that two of these three victories were against teams sitting in the bottom two places of the La Liga table (Almeria and Granada).

Goals could be in short supply though as seven of Rayo Vallecano's nine away games have resulted in Under 2.5 goals scored (77%).

Getafe v Rayo Vallecano Verdict

Getafe's consistent sequence of results stands them in good stead to get something from this match in what looks like being a low-scoring affair against an equally stubborn Rayo Vallecano outfit here on Tuesday afternoon.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.50

Other side bets worth considering:

Getafe win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.00

Correct Score: Getafe 1-0 @ 6.00
