Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid Match Preview

League leaders Real Madrid are going to face Rayo Vallecano on the road this game week in the last match of round 13 in Spanish La Liga.

Rayo Vallecano is playing an exciting style of football. They won their last 2 games remaining unbeaten in the last 4 games. They played vs Atletico Madrid and Sevilla in that span of games so these results are really good for them. Currently, they are in 9th place with 18 points which is nice for them.

Real Madrid is still the leader in Spanish La Liga. They got only a draw in the last game against Girona but still, they have 1 point more than 2nd-placed Barcelona. Recently they lost their first game of the season against Leipzig for the UEFA Champions League and combined with the draw against Girona seemed like a mini-crisis for them. Real Madrid had another European match with Celtic at Bernabeu in midweek, but that was not at all a hard game for them. 

Rayo Vallecano is a tough team to beat but Real Madrid must win this match in order to stay at the top of the league. They are still without a loss in La Liga and in this match, they are going to have Benzema back which is really important for them and their attack. Rayo prefers to have ball possession and that could prove a problem for them because of Real Madrid's counterattacking.
