📰 Team News: Getafe

The Getafe manager Quique Sánchez Flores will be happy not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game thanks to a fully healthy squad ready to go.

In our view, Azulones will possibly kick off with a 5-3-2 formation for the game featuring David Soria, Damian Suarez, Djene, Okay Yokuslu, Jorge Cuenca, Mathias Olivera, Mauro Arambarri, Nemanja Maksimovic, Oscar Rodriguez, Enes Unal and Borja Mayoral.

📰 Team News: Rayo Vallecano

In an otherwise available group, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Rayo Vallecano gaffer Andoni Iraola to contend with. Martín Merquelanz (Knee Injury) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that Franjirrojos seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Stole Dimitrievski, Ivan Balliu, Nikola Maras, Alejandro Catena, Francisco Garcia, Santi Comesana, Oscar Valentin, Isi Palazon, Oscar Trejo, Alvaro Garcia and Sergi Guardiola.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Rayo Vallecano might need a bit of good fortune to be putting a goal past this Getafe outfit who we think might well score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore predicting a highly competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Getafe when the referee blows for full-time.

There should be little in it.
