They have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just five goals in eight Primera Liga games – an average of 0.63 goals per game.

Rayo Vallecano are enduring a difficult run of results, having gone six Primera Liga games without recording a victory. They have not won any of their last three away games.

The visitors have disappointed up front this season, with Rayo Vallecano failing to find the net in five of their last six Primera Liga matches. They have gone three games without scoring on the road.
