Rayo Vallecano is in bad form,Can Real Madrid secure the three points?
Rayo Vallecano has struggled in La Liga, with no victories since January and losses in four of their last five matches, including defeats against Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Mallorca, all ending 2-1. With Inigo Perez taking over as the new head coach after Francisco's departure due to poor results, the 36-year-old aims to guide the team back up the league.Currently in 14th place, Rayo has 24 points from five wins, nine draws, and 10 defeats in 24 matches. While their position is cause for concern, they are still seven points clear of 18th-placed Cadiz and just three points behind 12th-placed Alaves.
Real Madrid comes into this match on the heels of a 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League last-16 first leg, with Brahim Diaz securing the sole goal. In their previous league fixture, Los Blancos secured a 4-0 win against Girona, extending their lead at the top to five points and holding a 10-point advantage over Barcelona in third place.Real Madrid faces challenging matchups ahead, including clashes with Sevilla and Valencia in the league, followed by the second leg of their Champions League tie against RB Leipzig. Notably, their impressive form is even more commendable considering the injuries the team has had to deal with this season.
