"Starting with the hosts, springing a famous upset last season as they clinched an eighth-place finish among Spain's elite, Rayo Vallecano have come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion. Opening this weekend's fixtures sat firmly in the drop zone, the Little Thunderbolts have a major job on his hands in the race to maintain their La Liga status over the coming months."
"Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Spanish icons and local rivals Real Madrid last time out as they fell to a 2-1 loss, Inigo Perez's men find themselves at the heart of what has become a public crisis. Signing off January with a 3-1 drumming at home against Osasuna, Vallecano have lost their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 10-2."
Bet recommendation: Ademola Lookman over 0.5 shots on target with best odds 19/20 at Dachbet. Rayo Vallecano have slipped into the relegation zone after losing four consecutive domestic matches and conceding ten goals while scoring two. Last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid and a 3-1 home loss to Osasuna have intensified the crisis. Pep Chavarria and Pathe Ciss are suspended and Unai Lopez is doubtful, prompting Pedro Diaz to be recalled. Jorge de Frutos has seven La Liga goals and will shoulder much of the attacking responsibility. Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways and secured a 4-0 Copa del Rey romp.
