Their recent results show a mixed bag of performances, with only one win in their last six matches. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game over this period. However, they have managed to secure three draws, demonstrating some resilience. A particularly high-scoring affair was the 3-3 draw against Leganés, which contributed significantly to their total goals average of 2.5 per match.

Despite their low position in the table, the team have shown an ability to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in four out of their last six matches, although their average of 1.17 goals per game suggests room for improvement in attack.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent positive results. They have managed only one win in their last six matches, which came against Real Valladolid on 7th February. Following that victory, Rayo endured a challenging run of three consecutive defeats against tough opponents Barcelona, Villarreal, and Real Madrid. However, they have shown resilience in their most recent two fixtures, securing draws against Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The latter match against Real Sociedad was particularly notable, ending in a high-scoring 2-2 draw, which bucked the trend of their generally low-scoring encounters. Rayo's defensive record has been a concern, with the team failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches. Their goal-scoring output has also been modest, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six outings. Despite these challenges, Rayo Vallecano have managed to maintain a mid-table position, currently sitting 9th in La Liga.
