Form Guide
Real Madrid have been irresistible in attack, netting 14 goals in their last 5 matches, including recent thrashings of Málaga and Real Sociedad. Rayo Vallecano have also won their last 6 matches and scored 7 goals in that span, but they’ve conceded the most penalties in the league this season and haven’t kept a clean sheet in 9 games — a stat Madrid’s forwards will look to exploit.
Team News & Injuries
Madrid’s casualty list keeps growing: Tchouaméni, Endrick, Mendy, Militao, Asencio, Pitarch, and Rodrygo are all out. Rayo aren’t spared either, missing Isi Palazón, Luiz Felipe, Marash Kumbulla, Jozhua Vertrouwd, and keeper Augusto Batalla.
Prediction
Madrid haven’t lost to Rayo in their last 7 meetings (3W, 4D), and with their attack clicking, expect another high-scoring afternoon — a probable 3-1 win for the hosts. Rayo’s leaky defense could gift them an early goal, but Madrid’s firepower should ultimately prove too much.
