Current streaks

Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent form shows a concerning trend, with the team currently sitting in 19th position in La Liga and failing to secure any points from their first two league games. Over their last six matches, including friendlies, they have managed only one win, two draws, and three losses. The team is struggling offensively, scoring just 2 goals in 6 games (0.33 goals per game), while their defense has been somewhat more solid, conceding 4 goals (0.67 per game) and keeping 3 clean sheets. Notably, Espanyol is involved in low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team is currently on a three-game winless streak in competitive matches, which could be a cause for concern as they look to improve their league position.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent form shows a mixed performance with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Currently sitting in 8th position in La Liga with 4 points from 3 games, they've maintained a balanced goal record, scoring and conceding 5 goals each across these matches. Their defensive efforts are noteworthy, securing 2 clean sheets in this period. The team's games have been relatively low-scoring, with 67% of matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams scored in half of the games. While there are no significant winning or losing streaks to report, Rayo Vallecano's ability to secure points against tough opponents like Real Sociedad (2-1 away win) and hold Getafe to a goalless draw demonstrates their competitiveness in La Liga this season.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent home form shows a mixed performance, with a noticeable trend towards low-scoring games. In their last six home matches, they've managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, maintaining an impressive defensive record with five clean sheets. However, their offensive output has been limited, scoring only 3 goals across these games, averaging 0.5 goals per match. Notably, all six games have resulted in under 2.5 total goals, highlighting a consistent pattern of low-scoring encounters. The team's ability to keep clean sheets is commendable, but their struggle to find the back of the net, especially in their most recent La Liga match where they lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad, may be a concern as they look to improve their league position from 19th place.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Their defensive record has been inconsistent, keeping 2 clean sheets but also conceding a high number of goals, particularly in a 5-0 loss to Heerenveen in a friendly match. This high-scoring game stands out as an anomaly, as 67% of their recent away matches have seen under 2.5 goals. The team has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only 4 goals in 6 games for an average of 0.67 goals per game. However, their most recent competitive away matches in La Liga have shown improvement, with a win against Real Sociedad and a draw against Getafe, suggesting they may be finding their footing on the road as the season progresses.
