Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Girona meant Rayo Vallecano had to settle for a share of the points. They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Girona managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Manager Andoni Iraola will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Iraola of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Álvaro García will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Rayo Vallecano's last 6 league games.
Real Betis, Recent FormReal Betis will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Athletic Bilbao, which ran out a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Athletic Bilbao had 10 shots on goal with 0 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Borja Iglesias will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Real Betis' 15 league games this season.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Los Verdiblancos will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Rayo having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas in the league, but Real Betis will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 3 visits.
With no real injury worries, Rayo manager Andoni Iraola will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Manuel Pellegrini has a number of injury concerns in his Real Betis squad to contend with: Paul Akouokou (Muscle), Juan Cruz (Hamstring) and Nabil Fekir (Hamstring)
