Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo: Match preview
Rayo Vallecano are currently near the bottom of the La Liga table, having collected nine points from nine rounds. They do have a game in hand, which could help them climb higher in the standings. They are just three points behind the top ten and have that extra fixture to play. However, they clearly lack consistency. Furthermore, Rayo Vallecano have conceded in every match this season and have the second-worst defensive record in La Liga, with 20 goals conceded.
Celta Vigo are in the middle of the La Liga table and are now looking to challenge for a top-six finish. The team have collected 12 points from ten rounds and are five points behind sixth place. Celta are currently in fairly good form, having gone unbeaten in their last three matches, with two wins and a draw. In addition, Celta are competing in the UEFA Europa League, where they have recorded one win and two defeats. They therefore face a further battle to secure a place in the European competition's knockout stages.
