Rayo Vallecano form and stats

All-inclusive La Liga results playing at home this season for Rayo Vallecano are 8-5-5 (wins-draws-losses). With nine home La Liga games in a row without a win, the Vallecano fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Deportivo Alavés game long ago, can be stopped today.

Rayo Vallecano lost their last game at Mallorca (placed 18th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The defeat against Mallorca was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by Prats). Midfielder García was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.23 (out of ten) in that game. García served one assist, hit two key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Villarreal that was lost 1-5.

This is expected to be a close game, with Rayo Vallecano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rayo Vallecano as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Rayo Vallecano has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Vallecano are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 18 games.
