Villarreal CF 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

Current streaks

Recent form

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF have shown impressive form recently, with four wins in their last six matches across all competitions. The Yellow Submarine have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 14 times in these six games, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per match. Their most notable result came in their latest outing, a 6-1 thrashing of Poblense in the Copa del Rey. Despite their attacking prowess, Villarreal's defence has been somewhat leaky, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 matches. This defensive vulnerability is reflected in the fact that both teams have scored in 83% of their recent fixtures. The team's current third-place position in La Liga, with 21 points from 11 games, underscores their strong start to the season, although they'll be keen to address their defensive issues to maintain their lofty league standing.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano have shown impressive form recently, particularly in their defensive efforts. The team have conceded just three goals in their last six matches, keeping three clean sheets in the process. Their goal difference of +6 over this period is notable, with a standout performance in their most recent Copa del Rey match where they thrashed Villamuriel 5-0. Despite sitting 9th in the league, Rayo's recent record of three wins, two draws and only one loss suggests they are in good shape. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 67% of their last six games seeing under 2.5 goals. However, their attacking output has been somewhat inconsistent, averaging 1.5 goals per game but failing to score in two of their last six league matches. Overall, Rayo Vallecano's recent form indicates a solid, defensively sound team that can be difficult to break down.

Recent home/away form

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF have shown mixed form at home, with their recent results including two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Yellow Submarine have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 4-3 thriller against RC Celta and the 5-1 defeat to Barcelona. Notably, both teams have scored in all of Villarreal's last six home matches, contributing to an impressive average of 4.33 total goals per game. The team's attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 2 goals scored per match, but their defence has been leaky, conceding 2.33 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in this period. An astonishing 83% of these home games have seen over 2.5 goals, highlighting Villarreal's tendency to be involved in high-octane encounters at the Estadio de la Cerámica.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's away form has been a mixed bag recently, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches on the road.
