Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal

Rayo Vallecano have lost just one of their last five meetings with Villarreal in LaLiga (W2 D2), having lost in 10 of their previous 13 clashes in the competition (W2 D1).

After winning four of their first five visits to Vallecas in the top-flight (D1), Villarreal have won just one of their last six away games against Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga (D2 L3): 5-1 in May 2022 under Unai Emery.

After the 1-1 stalemate at La Cerámica in December 2024, Villarreal could draw in successive meetings against Rayo Vallecano for just the second time in LaLiga, after doing so in January (1-1 in Vila-real) and October (2-2 in Vallecas) in 2002.

Rayo Vallecano have won their three LaLiga games at Vallecas in 2025, just two fewer than across the 18 they played at home in 2024 (W5 D6 L7). They have not had at least four consecutive home wins in the competition since their first five games under Andoni Iraola at the start of 2021/22.

Villarreal have not lost any of their last five games in LaLiga (W3 D2), while a win or draw here would establish their longest unbeaten run in the competition this campaign.
