Valencia, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Alaves will not have sat easily with the Valencia squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Alaves, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rubén Baraja will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 9 clean sheets in 17 games at The Estadio de Mestalla.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormThe Rayo Vallecano squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Almeria, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 68% possession and managed 27 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Almeria who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Iñigo Pérez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Rayo Vallecano, Álvaro García will be looking to add more goals against Valencia in this match.
Valencia recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Valencia have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against Los Franjirrojos.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio de Mestalla in the league, but Valencia will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
Valencia manager Rubén Baraja has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mouctar Diakhaby (Knee), José Gayà (Foot) and Roman Yaremchuk (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Aridane Hernández (Muscle) and Kike Pérez (Physical discomfort) both unavailable and Diego Méndez (Ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Rayo manager Iñigo Pérez will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
