Rayo Vallecano

The team is considered at most as a strong middle class of Spanish football. In 2024, it was borderline seventeenth place. And then, having scored 52 points, she managed to rise to the eighth position. However, Osasuna had as much, but it was overtaken due to additional indicators.

It so happened that this result was enough to represent Spain in the League of Conferences. They started there in the summer, in the qualification, and will play in 2026, in the playoffs. But with this unusual load in the domestic arena, there was a decline. In the cups, the struggle is still going on, but in the Premier League, the relegation zone is getting closer – taking into account the 0:4 defeat from Elche in the last round, eighteen points remain in the asset, and Girona, the best of the three outsiders, has fifteen. By the way, in La Liga there were many examples of how the club, having unexpectedly entered the European Cup, ended up being relegated at home.

Getafe

The club is in Bordalas’ second term as head coach. The first was the brightest page in the history of this modest project, a quick jump from Segunda to the playoffs of the Europa League. But after returning to his position, Pepe simply did not allow him to go to the second division twice, which in general is already quite a lot.

In the current autumn season, it seemed that the pragmatic approach is working again, and there will be an opportunity to enter the fight for European cups again. But 2025 ended with a protracted decline, when they lost to Burgos in the cup, and did not score a single point in the championship for the last three rounds.

Statistics of personal meetings

For eight matches in a row, Rayo manages not to lose to its neighbor. At the same time, he only won three times, including in May, when he finished 1:0.

Forecast

Bookmakers prefer the home team. But the pair does not shine in terms of performance – here we prefer to bet on a total of less than 2.0 goals (coefficient – 1.65).
