  May 9, 2025   UD Las Palmas - Rayo Vallecano Estadio de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Spain On Friday, May 9, 2025, UD Las Palmas will face Rayo Vallecano in the 35th round of Spanish La Liga. The clash between mid-table teams offers interesting statistical trends and a potential historic achievement for the Madrid-based side. UD Las Palmas have won their last two La Liga matches against Rayo Vallecano, the first time they have won two consecutive matches against the red-and-white team in the top flight. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano have won their last three La Liga away matches against UD Las Palmas, keeping a clean sheet in all three. If the Madrid side wins again on Friday without conceding a goal, they would become the first team in the entire history of the competition to win four consecutive away matches against the Canary Islands side without conceding. Rayo Vallecano have won 57% of their away matches against UD Las Palmas in La Liga (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)...

  April 24, 2025 Club Atlético de Madrid -  Rayo Vallecano As the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano approaches at the Metropolitano on Thursday, April 24, 2025, Diego Simeone's side looks to maintain their historical dominance while overcoming recent derby struggles. Atlético Madrid boasts an impressive 15-match unbeaten streak against their Madrid neighbors (12 wins, 3 draws), their longest such run against Rayo in LaLiga history. The Rojiblancos haven't tasted defeat against Rayo since February 2013, when they fell 1-2 at Vallecas. However, recent form suggests potential vulnerability for Simeone's men. Atlético have failed to win any of their last three LaLiga derbies (1 draw, 2 losses), suffering as many defeats in these three matches as they had in their previous 25 encounters against Madrid-based sides (14 wins, 9 draws, 2 losses). Their general form has also dipped lately, with Atlético losing three of their last six LaLiga matches (2 wins...

  Rayo Vallecano - RCD Espanyol April 4th, 2025 Vallecas Stadium in Madrid will witness an interesting clash between two teams with contrasting streaks. Rayo Vallecano comes after a valuable away win 2-0 over Alavés, but is also experiencing their longest home series without a victory this season (3 losses, 2 draws, 1 win). Espanyol, on the other hand, is gaining stability - after a period when they lost 8 out of 10 matches between September and December 2024, they have recorded only three defeats in their last 13 duels. Head-to-head matches between both teams have been balanced in recent years. Rayo Vallecano has won three of their last seven home duels against Espanyol in LaLiga (1 draw, 3 losses), which is the same number of victories as in the previous 11 mutual matches at their stadium (3 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses). However, current form speaks in favor of the visitors. Espanyol has won the last two matches against Rayo Vallecano and if they win for the third time, they wou...
