Valencia, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Atlético Madrid, the Valencia squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Atlético Madrid managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The Estadio de Mestalla recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 26 league games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormWith a 2-2 draw in their last match against Girona, Rayo Vallecano had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Girona had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Andoni Iraola will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Isi Palazón will be hoping to create problems for Valencia in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Rayo Vallecano.
It was not a positive ending for Valencia last time they met Rayo Vallecano in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
Los Franjirrojos have let in at least one goal in each of their last 5 league matches at The Estadio de Mestalla against Valencia.
Rayo have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Valencia in the league.
Valencia manager Rubén Baraja has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marcos André (Ankle), Jaume Doménech (Cruciate ligament), Toni Lato (Hamstring) and Gabriel Paulista (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rayo manager Andoni Iraola ahead of this clash, with Esteban Saveljich (Ankle) missing out, which gives Iraola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
