They have been in good form lately, beating 1-0 on the road in the last round, and are currently in the top half of the table, and have only 1 loss in 5 home games. In midweek, they beat Celtic 5-1 to get the first place in the group, and with a win already, Real Madrid must win tonight to get back to the first place.
Rayo Vallecano have a relatively full squad, with only the previously red-carded Ntka and the injured Pozzo missing, both of whom have played less than 90 minutes this season and will have little impact on Vallecano. On the Real Madrid side, there are Benzema and Toni Kroos for sure, and it is estimated that Carlo Ancelotti will continue to let Valverde go to midfield as he did in midweek, with Vinicius, Rodrigo and Asensio forming the trident of the attacking line. At the back, Real Madrid will also keep the same configuration from the Champions League.
Rayo Vallecano drew the first game of the new season against a raging Barcelona, a team with a tough style and a certain resistance to attacks. In the offensive line, Alvaro García and Parazón have good individual ability, and the center position also has Carmelo and Falcao's double insurance, the team has 17 league goals, the attacking power in the West Liga is also considered to be the middle and upper reaches of the performance. In view of this week's La Liga double match, after the Real Madrid stars will start to prepare for the war, this juncture, more international Real Madrid players will have more concerns.
