Rayo Vallecano have been among the eye-catching starters in La Liga this term, and they will be hopeful of continuing their solid start to 2023-24 when they host Villarreal this Sunday.
La Liga Preview
It has been a solid start to the new La Liga season for Rayo Vallecano, as they currently sit sixth in the top flight standings. A victory this weekend could see the Spanish side end the round in the top four spots in the standings. They should come into the weekend in good confidence, as they have won three of their opening five matches at the start of the campaign.
Vallecano would have been delighted with their response last weekend, as they ended a two-game losing run by landing maximum points against Alaves. It was a professional display by the hosts on that occasion, as they registered a staggering eleven shots on target. The goals in the win were netted by Isi Palazon and Jorge de Frutos.
Bet hereVillarreal will be the visitors this weekend, as they look to build on their second victory of the season, which was picked up last weekend. The victory still sees the Spanish side sit 13th in the standings, but a victory could lift them into the top six positions in the standings this weekend.
Villarreal ended a two-game losing run last weekend, as they overcame Almeria to record a 2-1 victory in front of their home fans. The Spanish side fell behind on the stroke of half time, but they hit back in excellent fashion. Gerard Moreno scored the equalising goal in the fifth minute of extra time, before Alexander Sorloth netted a dramatic winning goal.
