The upcoming match between Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano promises to be an interesting one, with both teams showing different forms in recent matches. Rayo Vallecano has managed to secure points in their last two games, displaying a strong performance even away from home. However, their worrying average of goals conceded in away matches makes them vulnerable against a Villarreal team that has shown proficiency in scoring at home.
Looking at the current form of both teams, the outcome of the match appears to be quite uncertain. Despite this, the past encounters between the two teams suggest a low-scoring game. Villarreal has shown a strong ability to score an average of 2 goals per game in their recent tournament matches, while Rayo Vallecano has a lower average of 1.4 goals per game this season.
In terms of head-to-head matches, Villarreal has recorded 2 victories, 1 draw, and 2 losses against Rayo Vallecano in their recent encounters. This shows that the match could go either way, with both teams capable of securing a positive result.
Marcelino's team, Villarreal, has displayed a strong offensive performance throughout the season, averaging 2.5 goals per game. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano, led by Iñigo Pérez, will need to tighten up their defense to avoid conceding too many goals against a potent Villarreal attack.
