Comments and predictions for Rayo Vallecano vs Real Valladolid: Home team dominates

Rayo Vallecano will be aiming to make it three wins in a row in La Liga when they resume their 2024-25 campaign with a home game against bottom side Real Valladolid on Friday night.

The home team are having an impressive season, with 32 points from 22 games to sit sixth in La Liga, while Real Valladolid are bottom of the table, with just 15 points from 22 games this season.

Latest Rayo Vallecano vs Real Valladolid team information

Rayo will continue to be without Raul de Tomas and Joni Montiel on Friday, while Randy Nteka is suspended after picking up a crucial yellow card in the 1-0 win over Leganes in their last game.

The only change from the starting line-up against Leganes could come in attacking areas, with Sergio Camello expected to benefit from Nteka's absence.

Adri Embarba is another name being considered by the coach when it comes to potential changes, but Jorge de Frutos, Isi Palazon and Alvaro Garcia are expected to retain their starting places.

For Real Valladolid, Raul Moro remains sidelined with a collarbone injury, but the struggling side are generally in good shape for their trip to the capital on Friday night.

Mario Martin is back after serving a suspension against Villarreal and the Spaniard is likely to have a place in central midfield.

Despite the recent defeat being a poor one, head coach Cocca is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his line-up, with Marcos Andre once again likely to lead the line, while Mamadou Sylla is expected to continue on the wing.

Latest Rayo Vallecano vs Real Valladolid football review

Rayo have a record of 8 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses after 22 matches in La Liga this season, with a total of 32 points helping them to sixth in the rankings, just 5 points behind Villarreal in fifth.

Los Franjirrojos are unbeaten in their last eight games in Spain's top flight, winning four, including victories in three of their last four league games against Celta Vigo, Girona and Leganes.

The capital club have never finished higher than eighth in La Liga, so this is a historic season, and they are on course to improve significantly on their 17th-place finish in 2023-24.

Inigo Perez's side have actually performed better away from home than at home this season, with 17 of their 32 points coming from away games, but Real Valladolid have lost 10 of their 11 away games in the league.

Rayo are on a run of three straight wins against Real Valladolid, including a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture this season, while they have not lost a top-flight home game against their opponents on a Friday since October 2013.

Real Valladolid are not exactly behind, but they are currently eight points behind 17th-placed Espanyol, which is a concern given they have picked up just 15 points from their first 22 games of the season.

A record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 15 losses has left them bottom of the table with 15 points, and they have lost their last three league games against Espanyol, Real Madrid and Villarreal, conceding 10 goals in the process.

Diego Cocca's side have conceded 47 goals in La Liga this season, their worst defensive record, while they have scored the fewest with 15, so it's not hard to see why this has been a difficult campaign.

The White and Violets finished second in the Segunda Division in 2024-25, but they have struggled to adapt to life back in the top flight, and they are facing a huge threat of relegation back to the second division for the 2025-26 season.
