The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Rayo Vallecano play host to Valencia at the Estadio de Vallecas on Monday.
The hosts head into the game seeking to end their 10-match winless run, while the visitors are unbeaten in each of their last six outings.
Rayo Vallecano failed to return to winning ways in La Liga as they bottled a two-goal lead before settling for a 2-2 draw with Granada.
They have now failed to win any of their last 10 games in all competitions, dating back to a 1-0 win over Mallorca in the Copa del Rey back in February.
This horrid spell has seen Rayo Vallecano drop to 13th place in the La Liga table after picking up 33 points from 29 games.
Elsewhere, Valencia failed to make it two wins from two last time out as they were held to a somewhat disappointing goalless draw by 10-man Cadiz.
However, they head into Monday’s game unbeaten in each of their last six games, claiming four wins and two draws in that time.
With 41 points from 30 games, Valencia are currently ninth in the league standings, 10 points off Real Sociedad in the Conference League qualification spot.
