The La Liga match between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano will take place at Civitas Metropolitan Stadium on Tuesday at 9:30 pm IST.
Getafe aims to maintain their impressive La Liga momentum as they face Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday afternoon. Currently sitting eighth in the standings, Jose Bordalas’s team secured a 3-3 draw against Atletico Madrid in their last game before the winter hiatus. Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano, positioned 11th, suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Valencia in their recent outing.
Girona’s unexpected success makes headlines in La Liga, but Getafe’s performance is equally noteworthy, placing them eighth after 18 matches. Under Bordalas, Getafe has secured six wins, eight draws, and four losses, accumulating 26 points, just two points behind seventh-placed Real Betis and five behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad. Getafe enters the match with a four-game unbeaten streak, including key victories over Valencia and Sevilla. Notably, they earned a commendable 3-3 draw against Atletico Madrid before the winter break. Impressively, Getafe remains undefeated at home this season, winning five and drawing three of their eight home fixtures.
Rayo Vallecano showcases the sixth-best away record in La Liga this season, earning 12 of their 20 points on the road. Currently 11th in the league under Francisco, they have a record of four wins, eight draws, and six losses. Despite being hard to defeat, Rayo’s numerous draws hindered their climb up the table. Their recent form is concerning, with no league wins since October 22 and losses in three of their last four matches, including defeats to Osasuna and Valencia. Additionally, scoring remains a challenge, with strikers Sergio Camello and Raul de Tomas yet to score in 14 league appearances each. Historically, their recent matches with Getafe have ended in draws, and Rayo hasn’t secured an away win against Getafe since January 2015.
Getafe probable starting lineup: Soria, Suarez, Duarte, Alvarez, Rico, Greenwood, Milla, Maksimovic, Mata, Mayoral, Latasa
Rayo Vallecano probable starting lineup: Dimitrievski, Ratiu, Mumin, Lejeune, Chavarria, Palazon, U Lopez, Ciss, Bebe, Nteka, De Tomas
