Rayo Vallecano
Ahead of the encounter with Madrid's Real, the giants approach amidst catastrophic results in the league. Last weekend, Rayo Vallecano suffered a 1-2 defeat to Mallorca away from home, marking their third consecutive loss under Francisco's leadership. Interestingly, in the match against the Islanders, as with Sevilla the previous round, the "Bees" displayed superior gameplay and did not deserve to lose.
At present, Rayo occupies a modest 14th position in the La Liga table, with a seven-point gap separating them from the relegation zone. Surprisingly, Rayo Vallecano has accumulated more points away from home than in their own fortress. In 11 home matches, the giants have managed only one victory.
Real Madrid
For a considerable duration in the championship, Real Madrid engaged in a battle with Girona for the top spot and seemingly emerged victorious. In the previous round, the "Los Blancos" dealt a knockout blow to their direct competitor at the Santiago Bernabéu, netting four unanswered goals against Girona.
This victory extended their lead by six points, instilling confidence ahead of the Champions League playoffs. Notably, their away fixture against a formidable Leipzig ended in victory (1-0). Real must extend gratitude to their goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who notched up 9 saves. On the road, the "Blancos" have suffered only one defeat in La Liga, emerging victorious on 9 occasions.
