Analysis of the match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano
Real Madrid recently suffered a disappointing defeat in the Champions League, losing to Benfica and now having to play in the play-off to secure a spot in the Round of 16. In that match, Los Blancos’ attack performed well, but the defense made too many mistakes. Now, Carlo Ancelotti’s side must put the disappointment behind them and focus on hosting Vallecano in La Liga 2025/26.
In the league table, Real are closely trailing Barcelona by just 1 point (51 vs 52). A win over Vallecano would allow Los Blancos to apply more pressure on their title rivals.
Meanwhile, Vallecano sit 16th with 22 points, just 1 point above the relegation zone. The two teams’ form is quite contrasting: Real have won 7 of their last 10 matches, while Vallecano have only won 4.
Home advantage adds confidence for Real, who have won 8 of their last 10 matches at the Bernabeu. Vallecano, on the other hand, have struggled away, with only 2 wins in the same period.
With superior form and the home advantage, Real Madrid are aiming for a victory over Vallecano to erase the disappointment against Benfica. It’s likely that the three points will stay at the Bernabeu.
