Then the Real Valladolid travel to the Santiago Bernabeu off the back of a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad in their previous La Liga fixture.
So therefore Abdul Mumin’s lead was cancelled out by Sociedad and they needed an injury time equaliser from Bebe to salvage a point.
Los Vallecas have reasons to be pleased with their campaign so far as they are unbeaten in their last seven La Liga matches. However, Francisco’s men have only picked up two wins in that run with the other five ending in draws.
Also Rayo Vallecano have also shown some quality on their travels this season with just one defeat away from home in La Liga so far.
Finally, they have picked up three wins in that run, including a 1-0 victory at Las Palmas in their previous fixture on the road.
