The Table: Level on Points

Before this round, Getafe were between 11th and 14th, depending on the source, with eight points, while Rayo were 12th or 13th, also on eight points. Goal difference separates them: Getafe at minus six on one table and Rayo at minus five, with a different source putting Getafe on minus three. A win would lift either side above the other and out of the pack.

Getafe: Hard to Beat, Hard to Watch

Getafe's numbers tell the story of a cautious team. They have scored just four goals in eight games, the lowest in the division by some distance, and conceded 10. One source says they converted 2 of 59 attempts this season. Their form lines are mixed, with one listing three wins and two defeats and another one win, two draws and two defeats, but both show a side that plays tight, low-scoring football. Two of their draws were 1-1, against Deportivo La Coruña and Celta Vigo.

At the Coliseum, with the home crowd, Getafe will aim to stay compact and rely on set pieces. A predicted shape from one preview shows a five-man defence and a lone striker.

Rayo Vallecano: Goals at Both Ends

Rayo's games are far more open. They have scored 11 goals in seven matches and conceded 16, the second-worst defensive record in the league. Sergio Camello is their star, ranking fourth in the league with seven goals, and he scored in their most recent game. Their last five results include a 3-2 win over Racing Santander and a 1-1 draw with Alavés, with two wins, one draw and two defeats.

On the road, Rayo have failed to win any of their last four away league games, but they have scored in each of them, so they are rarely quiet.

Head-to-Head: Rayo Have the Edge

Rayo have not lost to Getafe in their last six meetings, with three wins and three draws.

• May 2026: Getafe 0-2 Rayo Vallecano
• January 2026: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Getafe

Across the last five meetings, Rayo have won twice and three have been drawn. Getafe have scored in only two of their last eight league games against Rayo, and have not won any of them.

Key Battles to Watch

1. Camello against Getafe's defence. Rayo's top scorer faces a side that has conceded only 10, but Getafe will have to stay disciplined.

2. Getafe's attack against Rayo's defence. Getafe have scored very little, but Rayo have conceded 16, so the hosts will see chances.

3. Set pieces. Both teams often rely on dead-ball situations to break deadlocks.

4. The first goal. In a tight game, whoever scores first could dictate the tempo.
