Getafe's slight edge in predicted probabilities can be attributed to their higher average scoring and more robust defensive metrics. With Vallecano struggling to convert their chances and showing defensive frailties, Getafe's balanced approach could provide the key to victory. A critical factor to watch will be Getafe's ability to maintain their defensive solidity while capitalizing on Vallecano's defensive lapses.
