Rayo Vallecano Look to Hold Firm at Home
Rayo Vallecano average two goals a game at home this season while keeping their opponents to 1.3. Athletic Club have yet to lose in five matches and concede just one goal per away game. Every one of Rayo’s seven league fixtures has seen both teams score. The visitors score only 1.0 on the road and have managed three or more total goals in just two of their six outings. Head-to-head meetings give Athletic the edge overall, but Rayo’s home scoring record suggests they can avoid defeat here. The contest may hinge on whether Athletic can break down a Rayo side that has scored in every league game so far.
