Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo

Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Preview

Monday night wraps up this weekend's action in the Spanish top flight and features this upcoming clash between Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo with neither side in particularly sparkling form as the hosts have managed to win just once in their last 10 matches overall, while Celta Vigo have failed to win any of their last 11 matches in the domestic top flight.

Rayo Vallecano will probably be relieved to be returning to the home surroundings of their Estadio de Vallecas for Monday night's clash with Celta Vigo as the hosts suffered a heavy 4-0 thumping away from home at the hands of Athletic Bilbao last time out in La Liga and although league wins have been in short supply lately in the Spanish top flight, Rayo Vallecano have lost just twice in their previous 11 games overall.

The other defeat was inflicted upon Rayo Vallecano by this season's surprise package, Girona, who sit joint-top with Real Madrid at the summit of the La Liga table but nevertheless, Rayo Vallecano have collected two wins and been involved in no fewer than seven stalemates within these last 11 matches.

Three of these seven draws have resulted in a 2-2 scoreline while only Mallorca (eight draws) have been involved in more stalemates so far this season.

Celta Vigo have had to endure a wretched run of results in the Spanish top flight heading into Monday night's encounter at the Estadio de Vallecas as the visitors have failed to win any of their previous 11 matches overall, drawing five of these games whilst also losing the other six games as well.

Within these six defeats for Celta Vigo, four of these losses have been incurred on their travels as they have slipped to defeats on the road at the likes of Barcelona, Las Palmas, Girona and Athletic Bilbao so this upcoming trip to face Rayo Vallecano may also be a tricky affair for Rafa Benitez's side.

This may especially be the case as the bigger picture shows Celta Vigo have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 22 matches overall in La Liga which certainly doesn't bode well for a side wanting to pull themselves out of the bottom three of the La Liga table.

Results away from home have been even worse though, as Celta Vigo have won just once in their previous 13 outings on the road, slipping to a total of nine defeats in the process.

Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo Verdict

Neither Rayo Vallecano nor Celta Vigo can claim to be enjoying any sort of form right now though in the Spanish top flight and as three out of the last five meetings have ended in a stalemate, another draw seems to beckon here on Monday night.
