On September 1, 2024 at 1:15, Espanyol will host Rayo Vallecano.
Espanyol, as a promoted team, did not perform well after returning to La Liga, with only 1 draw and 2 losses in the new season, ranking the third last in La Liga and in the relegation zone. Espanyol's attacking power is seriously lacking, with all 3 rounds of matches being shut out, and the midfield needs to get back to form urgently. However, in the last match, they played tougher and drew with Atletico Madrid, who scored 5 goals in the previous two rounds, and obviously strengthened their defense deployment.
Rayo Vallecano has 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the new season. They beat Real Sociedad in the first round, but they have not won in two rounds recently, and were demoralized by Barcelona's 2-1 reversal at home in the last round. However, Vallecano is undefeated in two away matches in the new season, and their performance is still excellent in foreign matches, so they are eager to continue the trend of getting points on the road.
The stats are lacking in favor of the Spaniards in this meeting. The last two meetings in
La Liga
In their home meetings with Rayo Vallecano, the Spaniards were defeated by zero in the same position. Considering the Spaniards' current inefficiency in offense, look for a better performance from Rayo Vallecano in this match.
