Recent home/away form

RC Celta

RC Celta have shown impressive form at home recently, winning four of their last six matches at Balaídos. The Galician side are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak on their own turf, which has significantly boosted their position in La Liga. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with Celta scoring three goals in each of their last two home games against Sevilla and Villarreal. Defensively, they've also been solid, keeping two clean sheets in this six-game stretch. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.67 goals per game at home is commendable, while their defensive record of conceding just one goal per game has contributed to their positive goal difference. Interestingly, half of their recent home matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a good balance of exciting, high-scoring encounters and tighter, more defensive affairs.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with two wins and four losses in their last six matches on the road. The team have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only 5 goals in these 6 games, averaging a meagre 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat porous, conceding 9 goals at an average of 1.5 per game. Notably, Rayo Vallecano experienced a run of three consecutive away defeats against Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Athletic Club, before breaking this streak with a win against Deportivo Alavés. Their most recent away victory against Las Palmas, coupled with a clean sheet, provides a glimmer of hope for improvement. Interestingly, half of their away matches during this period have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for more open, higher-scoring encounters on their travels.
