On Monday night, Rayo Vallecano hosts Almeria at the Estadio de Vallecas as the home team looks to build on their recent good form in La Liga.
The home team’s recent form in La Liga has been poor, as Rayo has won just two of their last six games in the Spanish top flight.

However, a surprise 1-0 win at Villarreal last time out means that the home team has won two of their previous three matches in the Spanish top flight.
Andoni Iraola’s team have a poor recent home record in La Liga, winning just two of their last six games in the Spanish top flight.
In fact, Rayo has failed to win in three home games in La Liga, suffering two straight home matches. Their recent home matches in the league have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous eight home matches.
The visitors have endured an inconsistent season in La Liga, as they are currently in 11th place in the Spanish top flight.
However, Almeria are just three points clear of the relegation zone, so they need points. A 3-1 home win over Espanyol last time out ended a four-game winless run in La Liga for Almeria, though.
Keeping clean sheets has been a problem for Almeria in their recent seasons in La Liga, as they have kept just one clean sheet in 24 matches, dating back to their last spell in the Spanish top flight.
Although Almeria has drawn their last two away matches in La Liga, they are winless in 16 league matches on their travels, having suffered 13 defeats in the run.
Forebet predicts that Rayo will boost their European hopes by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
