There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 13 of Getafe's last 16 games (LaLiga). Getafe have failed to score in 7 of their last 9 matches (LaLiga). Getafe have lost their last 4 matches (LaLiga). Getafe have lost with a 1 goal margin in their last 4 matches (LaLiga).
Rayo just have the one concern, with Martin Marquelanz a doubt with a knock. Sergi Guardiola scored last time out and is likely to lead the line with Randy Nteka playing out to the right. No change is expected elsewhere given how well Rayo have played of late. We should see new signing Radamel Falcao in Rayo colours for the first time here, although likely from the bench. Sabit Abdulai remains out long-term with a knee ligaments injury, and there is a fresh blow for key man Mauro Arambarri, who has been ruled out until October with a muscular injury. David Timor is likely to come into the midfield, while Sandro Ramirez is expected to start ahead of Enes Unal up top.
Rayo took a point on matchday four, leaving it late to score an equaliser against Levante through Sergi Guardiola. Though, don't be fooled. The Vallecas side dominated the clash, managing a total of 22 shots and they fully deserved to take a point home from Valencia. That draw followed an impressive thrashing of Granada, so confidence is high for the newly promoted side as they prepare to welcome a Getafe side who have disappointed so far. Michel is already under pressure from supporters after failing to manage a win in any of his first four games back in charge, and the latest was a 1-0 defeat to Elche. Getafe have had a tough fixture list to start the season, already playing Valencia, Sevilla and Barcelona in their first four, but to only score one goal in four games while losing all four is never going to go down well. Michel needs to win this one to ease pressure, especially ahead of games against Atletico Madrid, Real Betis and Real Sociedad, but the likelihood is that he will have to settle for a draw. 1:1
