• 70% of Getafe’s La Liga matches this season have finished with under 2.5 goals – the highest rate in the league.

• Rayo Vallecano see 55% of their matches finishing with under 2.5 goals.

Vallecano and Getafe Eye Europe in Cautious Clash

Vallecano face Getafe this Friday evening at the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas. While neither team is mathematically safe yet, they will feel relatively comfortable with their positions in the table and may even have one eye on a place in the Conference League next season, as they currently sit three and five points behind 8th-placed Osasuna. These two sides played out a 0-0 draw earlier in the season, and this fixture has the makings of another low-scoring encounter. No team has had more games finish with under 2.5 goals in La Liga than Getafe, with 70% of their matches ending below that threshold. Vallecano also tend to be involved in low-scoring games, with 55% of their fixtures finishing under 2.5 goals.

Both teams have been out of form of late, with just one win each from their last five matches. Discipline has also been an issue, with the sides ranking 3rd and 5th for most cards received in La Liga. If you’re interested in the bookings market, this could be one to watch—though the spread will likely be high, there should be plenty of fouls to disrupt the rhythm of the match which will help betting on under 2.5 goals.

This feels like the kind of game where a single goal could be decisive. Despite their overall form being poor, Getafe have been strong on the road recently, winning three of their last five away games. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see them come away with all three points.
