Overview
Rayo Vallecano are having an impressive record in La Liga this season. They have won 4 matches, drawn 4 matches and lost 3 matches after 11 rounds.
Their result has a great contribution from the defense, when they have only received a total of 10 goals. This is the 3rd best achievement in La Liga this season, better than the 2 leading teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
If they maintain their form, Rayo Vallecano are fully capable of improving their position from the current 9th place. If they are more optimistic, they will try to aim for a ticket to participate in the European Cup next season.
Meanwhile, Las Palmas are not having an impressive record, with only 9 points after 12 matches. Notably, they are the team with the 3rd worst defense in the league, having conceded 21 goals, only better than teams like Espanyol or Valladolid at the moment.
