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 away defeat at the hands of Real Madrid. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Real Madrid's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Supremo Andoni Iraola will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 7 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Raúl de Tomás will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Rayo Vallecano.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Cádiz last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Cádiz, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
With 17 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Quique Setién will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Jackson will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Villarreal's last 6 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Rayo Vallecano.
In each of their last 5 away matches in the league at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, El Submarino Amarillo have let in at least 1 goal. Los Franjirrojos have struggled to keep Villarreal at bay when these two teams have met at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, during the last 3 times they have hosted Villarreal in the league, they have conceded a total of 8 goals.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Rayo at their home ground Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, Villarreal man Alfonso Pedraza will be looking for more of the same in this one.
With no real injury worries, Rayo manager Andoni Iraola will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Quique Setién has a number of injury concerns in his Villarreal squad to contend with: Raúl Albiol (Knee), Francis Coquelin (Cruciate ligament) and José Luis Morales (Hamstring)
