Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Rayo Vallecano players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Atlético Madrid. They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 1 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, Atlético Madrid managed 2 attempts on goal, with 0 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. 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.
A win for Rayo Vallecano is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Osasuna, Recent FormOsasuna enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Elche last time out in the league. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Elche's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 7 draws in 14 away league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Osasuna, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Rayo Vallecano who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Osasuna.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, Rayo have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Los Rojillos will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Rayo. Osasuna have a good attacking record away to Los Franjirrojos in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game. In their past 5 meetings, Osasuna's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Franjirrojos will have to take their chances when they come.
Rayo have lost the last 3 times they've faced Osasuna in the league and have failed to win in their last 5 encounters.
Rubén García has scored in each of Osasuna's last 0 league games against Rayo.
With no real injury worries, Rayo manager Andoni Iraola will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate ahead of this clash, with Rubén García (Muscle) missing out, which gives Arrasate a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
