5 years ago 774

After their promotion last season, Rayo Vallecano will continue their search for a first La Liga point of the campaign on Sunday the 29^th August. Granada take on Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas.

With consecutive defeats, the hosts have immediately sunk to the bottom of the La Liga table while their visitors arrive on the back of two draws from their opening matches in this campaign.

With the defeats, Los Franjirrojos will be keen to quickly get off the mark, as they look to avoid being stuck at the foot of the division, with only three other sides yet to collect a point.

Rayo Vallecano were impressive in the Segunda division last year and will be with the intention of making the best out of their La Liga return. They will be on the urge to bounce back after the real Sociedad defeat last weekend.

On the other hand, Granada are currently at the 12^th position in the La Liga standings and are yet to get a victory. They come into this match from a 1-1 draw last weekend against Valencia. The Nazaries will now look to put their first win on the board to head into the international break with a commendable tally of five points from the opening three games.

The Rayo Vallecano vs Granada duel might not be the most interesting game of this La Liga round, but it should be a very close one.
