Rayo Vallecano and Las Palmas have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the La Liga 2.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a La Liga 2 match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Almería, so at least Vallecano are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Las Palmas when visiting Rayo Vallecano as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.

Las Palmas are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Rayo Vallecano form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Rayo Vallecano have managed 9 wins, 8 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 20 games.

No payout for Vallecano in their previous match, an away game at Almería that ended in defeat 2-3. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Numancia.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Rayo Vallecano matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and one defeat (from five games).

The manager F. Jémez Martín will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Racing Santander in only three days.

The Vallecano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 27 in 20 matches. Vallecano are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio de Vallecas in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 19 from 20 matches.

Las Palmas form and stats

As the visiting team in La Liga 2 matches, Las Palmas have produced an overall stat of 5-7-8 so far. Palmas seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Palmas's previous game versus Mirandés (placed 13th), a La Liga 2 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Oviedo wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Palmas playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.

A new game in only three days for Palmas, the La Liga 2 home match versus Extremadura UD. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Palmas as they have only managed to score 16 times from 20 away games in the league. 23 goals have been conceded by Palmas in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Las Palmas - Vallecano 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Vallecano, three draws and three wins for Las Palmas. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
