Rayo Vallecano – Real Madrid

Match analysis

Rayo Vallecano host a daunting Real Madrid at the Estadio de Vallecas, with the hosts languishing in 16th place on just four points from one win, one draw and three defeats, and a goal‑difference of minus six (8‑14). Madrid sit second in the table, having amassed 12 points from four victories and a single loss, boasting a healthy +10 margin (14‑4). The gap between the two sides is stark, and the visitors will look to extend their unbeaten run against a side desperate for points to avoid the relegation zone. For Rayo, a positive result would be a rare boost in a campaign that has seen them concede more than they score, while Madrid will aim to cement their challenge for the title with a comfortable win.
