Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormRayo Vallecano will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Alaves. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target, in contrast to Alaves, who had 9 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Francisco Rodríguez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have had a good run of form at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Almeria. In that game they recorded 63 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 17 shots on goal.
Supremo José 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 22 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
José Luis Morales will be hoping to create problems for Rayo Vallecano in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Villarreal.
It was one to forget for Villarreal last time they met Rayo Vallecano in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
The El Submarino Amarillo defence has struggled at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.

Rayo has won the last 2 games they've played against Villarreal in the league.
Villarreal player Alfonso Pedraza will be looking to cause Rayo some problems having scored 2 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas.
With no real injury worries, Rayo manager Francisco Rodríguez will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
José 'Pacheta' Rojo Martín has a number of injury concerns in his Villarreal squad to contend with: Ben Brereton Díaz (Contusion), Francis Coquelin (Cruciate ligament), Alberto Moreno (Hamstring) and Alexander Sørloth (Hip)
