In this encounter, two mid-table teams face off. Such matchups are usually quite uneventful as the teams are fairly evenly matched. Will it be the same this time, or will we see some exciting moments from one of the sides?
The hosts come into this game in good spirits. In their last three matches, all against strong opponents, they have picked up five points. However, the team clearly lacks consistency. After a strong performance against Osasuna (3:1) and a well-deserved draw with Atlético Madrid (1:1), they had a lacklustre match against Girona (0:0), where Rayo Vallecano controlled the ball only 29% of the time and had an xG of just 0.53. Overall, the team has not been impressive in attack at the start of this season: they have generated only 6.9 xG but have scored eight goals. Rayo Vallecano have managed to score more than two goals in a game only once this season.
CD Leganés, on the other hand, have had a worse start to the season. They have only managed to beat Las Palmas, who are at the bottom of the table. The team is struggling in all areas. They have 9.6 xGA, having conceded eight goals. At the same time, they have only scored four goals with 4.9 xG.
Bookmakers see Rayo Vallecano as the favourites, but due to their inconsistent performances this season, it’s better to avoid betting on the outcome. A much safer bet is on the total under, as both teams have been lacklustre in attack.
