Preview
This Madrid derby has a clear pattern: the last five meetings produced five goals in total, and every one of them stayed under 2.5. Rayo are unbeaten in those five, with two wins and three draws. Getafe have been tight at the Coliseum, conceding 0.5 goals per home game this season, but they also score only one per game there. Getafe come off Thursday's 1-1 draw at Universitatea Craiova in the Conference League, and Enes Unal, Orel Mangala, Zaid Romero and Ivan Azon are all doubts. Christantus Uche and Juanmi remain out, while new signing Dani Carvajal is registered and available. Rayo are without right-back Andrei Ratiu, goalkeeper Augusto Batalla and Luiz Felipe, though Isi Palazon and Marash Kumbulla are back. Their last league game against Athletic was suspended after 24 minutes amid crowd protests. The 1X2 is close to a three-way split, so we look at goals instead: we rate under 2.5 at 66%.
A low-scoring derby with a five-game under trend in the head-to-head. Our pick is under 2.5 goals at 1.54, rated at 66%.
