The upcoming match between Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano presents an interesting challenge, with both teams fighting for survival in the league. Osasuna, despite their worrying average of goals conceded at home, have shown vulnerability in defense which may give Rayo Vallecano an opportunity to capitalize.
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano has struggled to score against Osasuna in recent encounters, with the last few matches between the two sides producing few goals. However, Rayo Vallecano has been in good form lately, and they have managed to avoid defeat in their last five games. This could give them a psychological edge going into the match.
The team coached by Iñigo Pérez is known for playing good football, even away from home, which could trouble Osasuna's defense. On the other hand, Osasuna's coach Moreno will be looking to capitalize on his team's home advantage and their previous successes against Rayo Vallecano.
In terms of goal-scoring, both teams have similar averages this season, with both averaging 1.2 goals per game. This suggests that the match could be evenly contested in terms of attacking opportunities, with both teams having the potential to find the back of the net.
In recent direct confrontations, Rayo Vallecano has had the upper hand with three wins compared to Osasuna's two, with no draws in between. This indicates that Rayo Vallecano may have a slight psychological advantage going into the match.
