4693
The first of four matches to be played in La Liga on Sunday the 8th of May is the meeting between Getafe and Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
The hosts begin the weekend in 15th place on 36 points while the visitors are in 11th place on 41 points. Both teams will be trying to finish in the top half of the table but Getafe are not completely clear of the relegation zone.
Getafe come into the game having held Real Betis to a 0-0 draw at home last time out. That result means they have recorded just a single win from their 4 most recent games, all of which have come in La Liga.
The win was away at Celta Vigo but prior to that victory there were defeats at Real Madrid and at home against Villarreal.
Despite having achieved just 2 wins in their 11 most recent games in La Liga, Getafe are tough to beat when playing at home. Trends show Getafe have not been beaten in 11 of their 12 most recent home matches in La Liga.
However, they have been struggling to win games at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, picking up just a single victory from their last 5 on home soil.
Getafe have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their last 4 home league matches. They have failed to score more than a single goal in each of their last 4 home La Liga games.
Rayo Vallecano make the trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Real Sociedad last weekend. The away team opened the scoring with just over 10 minutes remaining of the first half but Rayo Vallecano equalised in the 78th minute to take a point.
That result means Rayo Vallecano are undefeated in their last 3 games, all of which have been in La Liga. In fact, they have lost only 1 of their last 6 league fixtures, which was 1-0 at Alaves. There have been wins over Espanyol and Barcelona away, with both games ending 1-0 in favour of Rayo Vallecano.
However, in their last 16 games in La Liga, Rayo Vallecano have recorded only 2 wins. Trends show under 2.5 goals were seen in Rayo Vallecano's last 5 matches in La Liga.
Team news and Getafe are without the suspended duo of Jakub Jankto and Stefan Mitrovic. Jaime Mata could miss out due to a hernia problem.
Rayo Vallecano are without Martín Merquelanz who has a knee injury and there are doubts over the fitness of Esteban Ariel Saveljich.
This has the makings of being a closely fought contest. Considering the recent form of both teams, we expect to see under 2.5 goals scored and this one could end a narrow home victory, with Getafe taking maximum points.
