Command Analysis
Getafe
SpainCurrent form
After finishing last season with five straight defeats, expectations were low that Getafe would make a positive start to the new Primera Division campaign. However, as they did 12 months ago against Barcelona, José Bordalás' side defied fate on the opening day and salvaged a point. Bordalás will be looking to build on that success, but the Coliseum is used to disappointment - the Azulones have failed to win any of their last five league games at home.

Rayo Vallecano
SpainCurrent form
There are plenty of reasons for optimism in the Rayo Vallecano camp after Iñigo Pérez's side won 2-1 away to Real Sociedad. Heading into his first full season in charge, Pérez was keen to give his players "due credit" for the surprise win, made all the more impressive by the fact they avoided relegation by just five points last term. The visitors will be looking to achieve the feat of starting the season with two away wins, something they have never done before.

2.55Tip and bets
We believe that the status of the first match of the season will give a chance to repeat the result and scenario of the last game. Both teams have had a good rest, and the desire and motivation to start the season on a positive note can give enough strength to break through to the opponent's goal. Moreover, in three of the last five face-to-face duels, both clubs have distinguished themselves, which is what we expect today.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 2.20
Bet on the outcome
The visitors have little chance of winning, while Getafe plays very strongly at their home Coliseum, where the team will have serious support. In addition, the first game proved that the Blues have potential and they can use it to the fullest.
Prediction: Getafe win and we bet on it with odds of 2.45
Bet on a penalty
Most likely, everything can be decided by VAR, which will find a violation in the penalty area, which will decide the outcome of the confrontation. Moreover, in two of the last five face-to-face matches, a kick from 11 meters was awarded.
Betting Tip - penalty (yes) for 2.55
