Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo

Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Preview

Rayo Vallecano will be keen to go one step better this time around in the Spanish top flight by picking up all three points after being involved in a third draw on the trot in La Liga just before the Christmas break following a 1-1 draw away from home at Real Betis.

Celta Vigo will be looking to pick up where they left off just before Christmas in La Liga after producing a solid 2-0 home win against Real Sociedad which became a second win in three games for the upcoming visitors.

Rayo Vallecano head into this upcoming Friday night clash in the Spanish top flight at the Estadio de Vallecas having managed to capture just one win from their last seven matches overall, which came in the form of a 1-0 win away from home at Valencia but this recent sequence of results also include three draws along with three defeats as well.

Points picked up in recent stalemates with Real Madrid, Villarreal and Real Betis in 3-3, 1-1 and 1-1 draws respectively have been overshadowed by suffering three losses at the hands of Las Palmas, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao, so the prospects of a home win here for Rayo Vallecano seem to hang in the balance.

However, the goals market appeals for this upcoming fixture as seven out of Rayo Vallecano's eight home games so far this term have resulted in both teams scoring.

Celta Vigo currently occupy 11th place and two points above their upcoming hosts ahead of this Friday night fixture at the Estadio de Vallecas thanks to picking up two wins from their last three games overall, with victories gained over Mallorca and Real Sociedad both of which were gained on home soil at their Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.

The bigger picture shows Celta Vigo have managed to collect just four wins from their last 13 league matches in La Liga, three of which have been recorded in their own backyard while only one of these was achieved on their travels in the shape of a 1-0 win at Las Palmas.

Results away from home have been even more modest from Celta Vigo's perspective as the visitors have registered just two victories from their previous 12 outings on the road, whilst also being dealt no fewer than nine defeats within this period as well, so the prospects of an away win here on Friday night look even more slim than that of their hosts.

Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo Verdict

Five out of Celta Vigo's eight away games so far this season have also resulted in both teams scoring as well, and as both sides have produced some ordinary results in recent times, the goals market looks the best option here.
