Getafe's absentee list meets a Rayo side unbeaten in five

Getafe have not scored a single goal away from home this season, and that problem arrives at a difficult moment. On Monday, the hosts face Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez with six players unavailable.

Level on points, separated by goal difference

Both clubs sit in the lower half of La Liga, with Rayo Vallecano 13th and Getafe 14th. They have eight points each. Rayo have played one fewer match, and Getafe’s goal difference of minus six is one worse than Rayo’s minus five. Neither side can afford to drift further from safety.

Getafe’s home comfort and away silence

Getafe’s season is split in two. At home they have won two, drawn two and lost none of their four matches, scoring four goals. Away, they have lost all four and failed to find the net. Across their last five matches they have scored three times and conceded six.

Rayo arrive with more attacking output: nine goals in their last five games, although they have also conceded 13. Their away record is modest, with one draw and three defeats in four matches, but they have scored five times on the road.

Getafe’s depleted squad

Getafe are missing I. Azon, Juanmi, O. Mangala, Z. Romero, C. Uche and E. Unal. Juanmi and Uche are out with knee injuries, Mangala and Unal with muscle problems, and Azon and Romero with injuries. That is a significant loss for a side already struggling to score, and it limits their options for changing the game.

Rayo have problems of their own. A. Batalla is out with a broken calfbone, and A. Ratiu is a doubt through injury. Still, Getafe’s absences weigh more heavily on the home side.

Rayo’s unbeaten run in this fixture

Rayo have not lost any of the last five meetings with Getafe. They won 1-0 in May 2025 and 2-0 at Getafe in May 2026, drew 1-1 in January 2026, and drew 0-0 in both 2024 meetings. Getafe have not won any of those five games.

Our prediction

Getafe’s home record suggests they can make this difficult, but their lack of away goals and their absentee list leave them short of attacking options. Rayo’s recent results against them and their stronger scoring form give them the edge. We expect a tight contest that Rayo edge.
