Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano face each other on Saturday, September 12 at 15:00 at the Bernabéu. The hosts seek to recover from their defeat, while the Vallecas side arrives after a win.
The Real Madrid hosts Rayo Vallecano this Saturday, September 12 at 15:00 at the Santiago Bernabéu, in the match corresponding to matchday 5 of La Liga. According to meridiano.net, the visiting team arrives with high morale after their last victory.
The white team comes from losing 0-1 against Betis at the Estadio de La Cartuja, a result they want to overturn playing at home. At the Bernabéu, Real Madrid has achieved a full set of victories in their two home matches in this championship.
Rayo, on the other hand, defeated Racing Santander 3-2 at home in their last league commitment. Before that win, the franjirrojos had recorded two defeats and a draw, with a balance of 7 goals for and 10 against so far in the tournament.
The Vallecas squad has not achieved any victories in their two away matches in La Liga, while Real Madrid has not dropped points as hosts. In the last five encounters between the two teams, the balance favours the whites, although Rayo has always put up a fight in Madrid derbies.
For the Madrid fan, this derby has a special incentive: the chance to see two teams from the capital measuring their strength in a match that could mark the trajectory of both in the standings. Real Madrid will seek to remain at the top, while Rayo will try to secure their first win away from Vallecas.
The match will be played behind closed doors or with fans, depending on the current health restrictions in the Community of Madrid. It is expected that the white coach will have his main players available, while Rayo could repeat their lineup after the good result obtained.
