Rayo Vallecano take on the visitors Getafe in the round 9 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, October 14th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid).
Rayo Vallecano returned to La Liga following the results of the draw before last. Then, led by a young mentor, Andoni Iraola (although as a football player, a defender, this is a legend, especially Athletic), they took only 6th place in the Segunda. But then there was success in the playoffs. The “bees” have played in La Liga before. That's just there, basically, they didn’t show much - and experts were waiting for a failure. Nevertheless, the capital project had a powerful first part of the season, finishing it in the group of leaders. And in 2022, they switched to the Cup, reaching the semi-finals there. In the new season, Rayo Vallecano wins regularly enough to stay in the middle of the standings. The only embarrassing thing is that 1-3 with Almeria has already become the 2nd defeat in 3 rounds. But between them there was a victory over Elche.

Getafe under Pepe Bordalas at one time almost fought for the 4th, “Champion League” place. And they played in the Europa League in the spring playoffs. But when the mentor left the project that had begun to deflate, they paid for it with a disastrous start last season. As a result, it turned out to quickly find a new worthy coach already in the midst of the crisis. More precisely, Quique Sanchez Flores, who once occupied the post, returned to the club. As a result, the “subdivisions” even took 15th place. But do not overestimate it: in fact, they were only 1 point ahead of the relegated Granada. It was clear that the new season would not be easier. And they really started with 1 point in 4 fights. Only after that, already in September, they managed to quite unexpectedly beat both Real Sociedad and Osasuna, sharply improving their position. True, October began with a 2-3 home game against Valladolid. And then they lost to Real Madrid, however, in a decent fight and with a minimum score.
Last season, the teams crossed paths for the first time after a pause of several years. Then the newcomer turned out to be stronger: Rayo Vallecano won 3-0 at home and reduced the away match to a goalless draw. Bookmakers consider Rayo Vallecano as the favorite of the pair as the owner of the arena. But Getafe looks pretty good, we dare to assume that they won’t lose in this derby of the capital.
Prediction for the match: Getafe to win with 0.0 handicap.
