Rayo Vallecano will host Almeria at the Estadio de Vallecas on Monday (February 6) in La Liga.
The hosts have had mixed results this season but remain hopeful of securing European football. Vallecano returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win at Villarreal, with Sergio Camello scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the second half. Vallecano are ninth in the standings with 29 points from 19 games. They will now look to pick up back-to-back wins for the first time this year.
Almeria, meanwhile, have begun picking up crucial points in the La Liga as they look to retain their top-flight status for another season. They beat Espanyol 3-1 in their last game, with three players getting on the scoresheet before their opponents bagged a late consolation.
The visitors are 11th in the points table, with 22 points from 19 games.
