Rayo Vallecano vs Getafe Prediction: Will the Bees beat the Citizens again?

The ninth round of the Spanish football championship will open with a clash between Rayo Vallecano and Getafe. Both teams lost in the last game, with the visitors already on a two-match losing streak. That said, Madrid has two straight wins at the Vallecas and is logically favourites to win Friday's game.

Before Matchday 9, Rayo Vallecano is in 10th place in the La Liga table with 10 points. They are a classic Spanish mid-table side whose main task for the season is to keep their place in La Liga. Rayo's home statistics are 12th in the division, but it's worth noting that the capital team has only played three games at Vallecas, while some teams have already played five home games. Rayo has a 67% home win percentage on a 4:4 goal difference.

After two successive wins over Real Sociedad and Osasuna, Getafe lost two home games: 2:3 to Valladolid and 0:1 to Real Madrid. They are 16th ahead of Sevilla, sitting bottom of the relegation zone by one point. As for the away side, Getafe has won three games on a goal difference of 4:8, with their only win coming against Osasuna.

Rayo Vallecano has beaten Getafe in five of their home games and six of their last. This season, the Bees have already achieved two home victories in three games, including over Valencia, scoring two goals against their opponents. In turn, Getafe has two away defeats in three games, including against Valencia, whom Rayo defeated. We believe that in this pairing, it is optimal to bet on the home team. We wouldn't be surprised if the team from the capital city got another dry win over the Citizens.
