Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormThe Rayo Vallecano squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Mallorca, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Mallorca's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Francisco Rodríguez will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
Rayo Vallecano will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 9 games.
Real Madrid, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Real Madrid produced a stunning 4-0 home win over Girona. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 5 shots on goal.
Their boss Carlo Ancelotti has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 23 of their 24 games overall this season.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 8 games.
On an individual basis, Vinicius Júnior will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Real Madrid's last 6 league games.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Playing away from home, Real Madrid have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rayo.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rayo manager Francisco Rodríguez ahead of this clash, with Diego Méndez (Muscle) missing out, which gives Rodríguez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With both David Alaba (Cruciate ligament) and Thibaut Courtois (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament) and José Nacho (Physical discomfort) unavailable in the shorter term, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
