SPAIN: LALIGA – ROUND 6

Date: 24 September 2023, Sunday

Kick-off at 17:15 EAT

Venue: Stade Saint-Symphorien (Metz)

Rayo Vallecano finds themselves in a strong position in the top-six ahead of the current round, signifying a solid start to the new La Liga (LL) season with three wins and two losses.

They broke a two-game losing streak in the league by securing a 2-0 victory against Alavés in their recent match.

This win now presents them with the opportunity to achieve consecutive home league victories for the first time this season, which would help put behind them the memory of their distressing 7-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in their home league opener.

Getting the first goal could be crucial to their chances, as none of Vallecano’s five LL games this season have seen both teams scoring, making them the only LL team with this unique distinction in their matches.

Vallecano aims to replicate this pattern and secure another win after completing a league double over Villarreal last season.

However, those two victories were as many as they had managed in the 18 head-to-head encounters prior (with two wins, three draws, and 13 losses), suggesting they went against the trend.

Villarreal has had a somewhat sluggish start to their LL campaign, with two wins and three losses, placing them in the lower half of the league table leading up to this clash.

Additionally, their European campaign began midweek, providing an added distraction. They suffered a 2-0 defeat against Panathinaikos in their group opener as they strive to regain their UEFA Europa League title, prompting manager Pacheta to call for his team to “toughen up.”

The need for improvement is evident, as Villarreal has managed to keep just one clean sheet in their six competitive matches this season.

Nevertheless, there is a silver lining in that this clean sheet occurred in an away match.

Given that Villarreal has scored exactly one goal in five of their last six away league outings, the importance of keeping clean sheets on the road becomes even more apparent.
