Rayo Vallecano currently sits 15th in the La Liga standings with 18 points, holding a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses. Their precarious position, just three points above the relegation zone, underscores the urgent need for points. Recent form has been poor, with only one win in their last seven league matches. Although they showed resilience with a four-match unbeaten home streak, a recent 0-4 away defeat to Elche has significantly impacted morale. Their home record this season is concerning, with only one win in seven home league games. Getafe faces even greater challenges due to significant player absences. Key players like the forward Mayoral and central defender Alderete are unavailable. Additionally, Arambarri is out injured, and Alena is suspended, severely impacting the team's attack. Their defense also struggles with positional issues, hindering their tactical execution. Midfielder Milla possesses strong passing and organizational skills, but his impact is limited by the overall squad's deficiencies. Match prediction: Getafe +0.25.
