Getafe-Rayo Vallecano is a match valid for the nineteenth day of La Liga and is played on Tuesday at 5 p.m.: TV, formations and predictions
One cannot speak in this match about the field factor, since the match will be played in a different stadium from the one where, usually, Getafe plays its home matches. However, this, objectively, also changes little. For a linear reason, no doubt: the formation that plays “at home” has important qualities that the ranking shows.
There are six points of difference that divide the two formations. And the moment that the two teams are experiencing also indicates one thing: Getafe is really well and could succeed with a victory, which would be the fourth in the last five days, to approach the areas that really count in the Spanish league. In short, the motivation is all on one side, although Rayo really needs points to avoid being sucked in by those behind. With the 20 scraped together so far, it’s not as if they can sleep soundly, even if in line for salvation.
There is one fact to keep in mind for this match: in the last five crossings between these two teams there have been four draws (even three 0-0) and only once has Rayo won, at home. In 2021, so three years ago. So? So we would seriously say that it is time to reverse this trend as well.
The prediction
Not many goals, to the eye. But a win for Getafe – which before the break took a very good draw on the field of Atletico Madrid – could fit. Three crucial points for a team that is daydreaming and could even start thinking, just in case, about a European placement.
