Rayo Vallecano and Levante conclude their La Liga seasons when they go head to head at the Estadio de Vallecas on Friday evening.
Neither side have anything to play for in their final outing before the summer, with the hosts occupying a comfortable mid-table position and the visitors having their relegation from the top flight already confirmed.
A season which had provided so much unexpected hope just a few months ago has petered out rather disappointingly for Vallecano in the closing stages of the campaign.
Following promotion from the second tier last year, La Liga survival was all that had been targeted last August, but after a remarkable start to the 2021-22 campaign, Andoni Iraola‘s side were making an incredible push for the European places. However, momentum was lost for Los Franjirrojos following the winter break.
Levante’s five-year stay in La Liga comes to an end on Friday evening, with the heavy 6-0 defeat at champions Real Madrid last Thursday sealing their fate. A disappointing relegation does not tell the full story for the Frogs however, who have fought for their survival admirably in recent months. Levante have every reason to head to the Estadio de Vallecas on Friday evening with no pressure on their shoulders, and instead take with them a great deal of confidence as they look to end their disappointing season on a high.
