On Saturday, March 11, Rayo Vallecano takes on Celta Vigo at the Balaidos in La Liga, hoping to end their four-game losing streak.
The Red Sashes have lost their next four games in the top division since their February victory over Almeria, which was only their ninth victory of the season. As a result, Andoni Iraola’s team has fallen to seventh in the standings, putting an end to their unlikely bid for a spot in the European tournament.
However, the Madrid team still has a chance of winning European football next season and is only two points behind the top six teams.
In the meantime, Celta’s season blew hot and cold with their recent goalless draw with Osasuna, despite only winning by a massive 3-0 in their previous match. The Galician outfit have accumulated seven focuses less than Vallecano and sit in twelfth situation with only seven successes from 24 first class games.
