Rayo is the dead-last team in the league and is almost sure to ply their trade in the Segunda next season. They need to overcome a difference of seven points with only twelve left to play for.
Things get difficult when it is known that three of those are on offer against Real Madrid – the current and hattrick Champions League winner.
H2h games alone are enough to determine the winner and the nature of the win. Real won the last 14 h2h matches in a row. They also recorded 19 wins and a draw from the last 21 mixtures. Real holds a 100% winning record in league encounters.
Importantly, Rayo was winless in 12 of their last 13 ties, and in six of their last seven. Meanwhile, Real was unbeaten in seven of their last eight match-ups.
Finally, Real had scored two or more goals in seven of their last ten away ties. As such, expect the Royal Whites to record a huge win this Sunday.
