Getafe host Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum in Getafe in a LaLiga fixture that carries genuine weight for both sides as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.
Perpe Bordalas's side arrive into this derby off the back of a 1-1 draw with Universitatea Craiova in the Conference League, a result that followed a heavy 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in LaLiga. Getafe have found wins hard to come by, and the pressure on Bordalas to string results together is mounting.
The club has not stood still off the pitch. Dani Carvajal, the six-time Champions League winner, has joined from Real Madrid on a deal running until 2027, and negotiations to sign free agent Jadon Sancho have been confirmed by president Angel Torres. Those arrivals signal an intent to compete on multiple fronts.
Rayo Vallecano arrive under Benat San Jose carrying their own complications. The club has been handed sanctions following crowd trouble in a recent fixture against Athletic Club, meaning they must complete that game behind closed doors and cover their opponents' travel expenses. It is a difficult backdrop for a side already navigating a mixed run of results.
Rayo have shown they can score goals, but defensive fragility has cost them points. Their most recent LaLiga outing ended 1-1 at Osasuna, and they conceded thirteen goals across their last five matches in all competitions.
This is a Madrid derby with both clubs sitting in the bottom half of LaLiga. Whoever takes three points here will move in the right direction at a critical point in the season.
