Rayo Vallecano‘s search for their first La Liga victory since the start of February will continue on Friday night when they welcome Osasuna to Estadio de Vallecas.
The home side are currently ninth in the table, one point and one position behind Osasuna, who will enter the match off the back of a 2-1 victory over basement side Elche last weekend.
Rayo were in the running for a possible European finish earlier this year, but an eight-game winless run in Spain’s top flight has seen them drop down the table into ninth position.
Rayo have actually lost each of their last three La Liga games against Osasuna, including a 2-1 defeat in the corresponding match earlier this season. Osasuna, meanwhile, will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 win over Elche.
Rayo currently have a fully-fit squad, but the home side will be without the services of Florian Lejeune following his red card against Atletico last time out.
There is not too much between these two teams in terms of quality, and we are expecting a close match on Friday night.
