Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Betting on the home team

Sunday's pool of the Spanish soccer championship begins with the match between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano. The teams have different tasks in the Spanish championship, but at the same time, bookmakers are not in a hurry to take the side of one of the teams, even despite the extremely weak points set by Getafe in recent games.

Getafe already has a six-match winless streak, five losses, and a draw. However, the draw was recorded in the last round against Atletico Madrid. This is a sensational result, given the opponents' position in the standings. Getafe fought Atletico in an away game and will fight Rayo at home. Moreover, the situation forces Getafe to score points in every game, especially in home matches, although with potential fighters for a place in the Champions League zone. Getafe's home stats are 19th in the division, +2=3-5, 9:13 goal difference.

In the last four games, Rayo Vallecano has had three wins and 9 points, allowing the third Madrid team to climb up to fifth place in the standings. The gap from Atletico is only three points, i.e., the Bees are the real contenders for the final place in the Champions League competition. It's hard to believe that Rayo can maintain such a pace. Rayo's away statistics are better than Getafe's at home, but they are certainly not ideal. Of their ten away matches in La Liga, Rayo has won four, with three draws and three defeats.

There is a feeling that after the draw with Atletico, Getafe won't lose to Rayo Vallecano either. We will not be surprised even if they get a home win in the upcoming game because a draw strategy is unlikely to solve the issue of retaining a place in the elite. Getafe needs a victory. Rayo is in the top five of La Liga before the start of the reporting round, but this team is middle-class in terms of potential. In this pairing, we bet on the home team, and not a very productive match.
