Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano

Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite their low league position of 19th with only 10 points from 13 games, Valencia have shown some positive signs in attack, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game over their last six matches. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding 1.33 goals per game during this period. A notable high-scoring match was their 4-2 victory over Real Betis in La Liga, which bucked the trend of their other recent fixtures. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of Valencia's last six games, indicating that their matches have been competitive and entertaining for neutrals. However, Valencia's inability to string together a consistent run of positive results has contributed to their precarious league position.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano are currently experiencing a poor run of form, having lost their last three La Liga matches in a row. Their recent performances have been inconsistent, with two wins sandwiched between two sets of consecutive losses in their last six games. Despite their struggles in the league, Rayo Vallecano did manage an impressive 5-0 victory in the Copa del Rey against Villamuriel, showcasing their attacking potential. Their defensive record has been somewhat respectable, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game in their last six matches, with two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been inconsistent, with only 8 goals scored across these games, half of which came in the cup match. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia's home form has been a mixed bag recently, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches at the Mestalla. The team have shown flashes of brilliance, most notably in their latest high-scoring encounter where they defeated Real Betis 4-2. However, their inconsistency is evident, as they followed a 2-0 victory over Girona with a goalless draw against Osasuna and a 3-2 defeat to Las Palmas. Valencia have managed to score in five of their last six home games, averaging 1.67 goals per match, but their defensive record is somewhat concerning, conceding in four out of six matches. Despite their current 19th position in the league, Valencia's home performances suggest they are capable of producing exciting football, with 50% of their recent home matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the fixtures.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano have shown mixed form away from home, with their last six away matches resulting in two wins, one draw, and three losses. Their most impressive result came in the Copa del Rey, where they thrashed Villamuriel 5-0, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring performances. Despite this, they've struggled to find the back of the net consistently in La Liga away fixtures, failing to score in their last two league matches on the road. Defensively, Rayo have been relatively solid, conceding an average of less than a goal per game in their last six away matches and keeping two clean sheets. Their ability to keep matches tight is further evidenced by the fact that 50% of these games have seen under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only a third of these matches, suggesting that Rayo's away games tend to be low-scoring affairs decided by fine margins.
