The league table in La Liga 2 tells a story about these teams so far, with Rayo Vallecano leading Numancia by 9 points. Match preview to follow:

Rayo Vallecano have less rest than Numancia in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga 2 game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Real Zaragoza, so at least Vallecano are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

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

Rayo Vallecano form and stats

Rayo Vallecano have collected 32 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 8-8-3. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A strong away win for Rayo Vallecano against Real Zaragoza the last match, as Juan Villar (2) and Óscar Trejo were on target. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Malaga that ended 0-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vallecano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn five and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vallecano as they are travelling to their away game against Almería in the La Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.

Vallecano has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. Vallecano have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Numancia form and stats

Numancia have only collected 12 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 2-6-11 (19 played). A depressing eight defeats in a row for Numancia in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Alcorcon.

Numancia had fun at their own home (Estadio de Vallecas) last time out, beating Extremadura UD 1-0. Ivan Calero scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lugo wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Numancia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, five draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

A new game in only three days for Numancia, the La Liga 2 home match versus Ponferradina. Busy days.

The visiting Numancia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 19 games. Numancia have conceded 33 goals in these games.
