Real Betis – Rayo Vallecano

Match analysis

Real Betis head into the clash at the Benito Villamarín with a perfect record, sitting seventh on nine points after three wins and a single loss, their attack and defence balanced at five goals each. Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, languish in 16th place with just four points from one win, one draw and three defeats, having scored eight but conceded 14. The stark contrast in form means Betis will look to extend their unbeaten run at home, while the Madrid side will be desperate for a turnaround to escape the relegation zone. A victory for the hosts could see them climb into the top six, whereas a win for Rayo would be a vital boost in their survival battle.
