Rayo Vallecano vs Real Valladolid Match Analysis & Prediction
04/05/2023 11:00 pm
Rayo Vallecano will be looking to maintain their status in the top half of La Liga with a positive result against Real Valladolid on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Valladolid are still not completely safe from relegation following their promotion from the second tier last season.
Andoni Iraola has been in charge of Vallecano since the summer of 2020, guiding them to promotion through the playoffs before securing an impressive 12th-placed finish in their first season back at the top flight.
The 40-year-old will be determined to see his side’s solid season continue through the closing weeks of the season, with the impressive form of Sevilla one place behind them providing a credible challenge to their top-half status.
Valladolid travel to the capital only eight points behind their forthcoming opponents in the table, but they remain on the firnges of an intense relagtion battle after losing their last two matches.
With Espanyol and Getafe both only four points behind them with six matches remaining, Paulo Pezzolano’s side cannot afford to coast between now and the end of the season, as they are likely to require two victories to be near-certain of their safety.
The 40-year-old was drafted in to replace Pacheta last month, making an excellent initial impact by taking seven points from his opening three matches, before losing out to Valencia and Atletico Madrid in recent weeks.

Vallecano are set to remain without forward Redamel Falcao due to a muscle injury, while Florian Lejeune is suspended after being sent off during the first half of the defeat to Elche.
Iraola is likely to make several changes given the nature of that loss, with Raul de Tomas, Oscar Trejo and Abdul Mumin all hoping to receive starting berths.
