Rayo Vallecano v Valencia

Rayo Vallecano vs Valencia Preview

There's nothing to separate Rayo Vallecano and Valencia ahead of this upcoming mid-table clash in the Spanish top flight on Tuesday night at the Estadio de Vallecas as the hosts occupy 11th place while Valencia sit in 10th position but both sides are level on 20 points apiece as they look to lift themselves further up the La Liga table.

After picking up three wins out of their opening five games of this La Liga season which included victories over Almeria, Granada and Alaves, it's been a rather barren and lean spell of results in subsequent months in the domestic top flight for Rayo Vallecano who have managed to capture just one further league win from their last 12 matches overall in La Liga.

This singular success came in the shape of a 1-0 win away from home at Las Palmas but the draw has dominated recent results where Rayo Vallecano have been concerned with Francisco's side being involved in no fewer than eight stalemates within these last 12 league games, five of which have resulted in score-draws with both teams hitting the back of the net.

Rayo Vallecano have also captured just one win on home soil to date but the goals market looks promising here as five of Vallecano's last six home games have seen both teams score.

Valencia have also found wins hard to come by in recent times in La Liga as the visitors have failed to win any of their last five matches overall which include three defeats and two draws; losses to Real Madrid, Girona and Getafe have all been away from home and have overshadowed the points picked up in draws with Celta Vigo and Barcelona.

Valencia's La Liga campaign started in pretty much the same vein as Rayo Vallecano's season as Ruben Baraja's side registered three wins within their opening five league games which saw the visitors pick up early wins against the likes of Sevilla, Las Palmas and most impressive of all, a 2-0 home win against Atletico Madrid.

However, the visitors have collected just two further wins from their subsequent 12 matches thereafter which has resulted in Valencia occupying a mid-table position but although both of these two wins were recorded on home soil against Cadiz and Granada, results away from home have been poor so far this season.

Valencia have recorded just one away win all season which also seems to rule them out for an away win here on Tuesday night but six of Valencia's nine away games have also resulted in both teams scoring and this looks the safest option for this upcoming clash.
