Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormRayo Vallecano manager Francisco Rodríguez will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 away defeat by Athletic Bilbao. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Athletic Bilbao who had 9 attempts and 4 on target.
Rodríguez will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Celta Vigo, Recent FormIt's fair to say Celta Vigo will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Cadiz, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 26 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Cadiz had 2 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 15 games overall.
A win for Celta Vigo is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 11 games.
On an individual basis, Jorgen Strand Larsen will be looking to cause Rayo Vallecano some problems having scored 3 goals in Celta Vigo's last 6 away games in the league.
After a good 3-0 win for Celta Vigo in this pair's last league encounter, Rayo Vallecano will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
It's been a long time since Rayo have managed to find the back of the net against Os Celestes, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Los Franjirrojos have struggled to break down the Celta defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
When playing away from home in the league, Celta have failed to win any of their last 7 meetings with Rayo, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Celta man Iago Aspas will be confident about extending his scoring record against Rayo, having hit the netting 4 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rayo manager Francisco Rodríguez ahead of this clash, with Aridane Hernández Umpiérrez (Foot) missing out, which gives Rodríguez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rafael Benítez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
