Rayo Vallecano will host Getafe at the Estadio de Vallecas on Friday (October 14) in La Liga.
Los Vallecanos have struggled after a decent start to their campaign, after bagging four points in their first two games. They were beaten 3-1 by newly promoted Almeria in their last league outing. Vallecano were three goals down at the break before Alejandro Catena scored a consolation strike ten minutes from time. Vallecano are tenth in the standings with ten points from eight games.
Getafe, meanwhile, have had a largely uninspiring start to their season, sitting just above the drop zone. They headed into the international break in solid form but have returned to action on the wrong foot. Getafe have suffered back-to-back defeats, most recently losing 1-0 against defending champions Real Madrid.
Trending
The Azulones have picked up just seven points from eight games and are 16th in the standings. They are just one point above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap.
