Deportivo La Coruna – Rayo Vallecano

Deportivo La Coruña host a struggling Rayo Vallecano in what promises to be a decisive clash for both sides. Sitting sixth with nine points from two wins and three draws, the home side have already outscored opponents 9‑6 and will be eager to cement a top‑half finish. Rayo, languishing in 16th place with just four points after one victory, one draw and three defeats, have conceded 14 while only finding the net eight times, underlining the urgency of a turnaround. The head‑to‑head record this season has yet to be written, but the disparity in form suggests a clear advantage for the Galician hosts as they look to extend their unbeaten run.
