Rayo Vallecano Ready for the Clasico
Vallecas Stadium set to host fierce clash between two of Spanish football's biggest clubs
Real Madrid visit Vallecas on Saturday for a highly-anticipated match that could have major implications in the title race
Rayo Vallecano will welcome Real Madrid to the Vallecas Stadium on Saturday for a highly-anticipated match that could have major implications in the title race.
Rayo are currently fifth in the table, just four points behind Real Madrid, and a win would see them move into third place and put pressure on the top two, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Elche last weekend and keep pace with Barcelona at the top of the table.
The match is sure to be a close and exciting affair, and it could have a major impact on the destiny of the LaLiga title.
Key Battles
One of the key battles in the match will be between Rayo's Isi Palazon and Real Madrid's David Alaba.
Palazon is one of Rayo's most dangerous players, and he will be looking to use his pace and skill to get behind Real Madrid's defense.
Alaba, on the other hand, is one of Real Madrid's most experienced defenders, and he will be looking to keep Palazon quiet.
Another key battle will be between Rayo's Radamel Falcao and Real Madrid's Eder Militao.
Falcao is a world-class striker, and he will be looking to add to his impressive goal tally against Real Madrid.
Militao, meanwhile, is one of Real Madrid's most promising young defenders, and he will be looking to keep Falcao quiet.
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Rayo Vallecano will edge it.
They are in good form at the moment, and they have a good record against Real Madrid at Vallecas.
I think Rayo will win 2-1.
