Villarreal had a fantastic start to the season, but the last month has been a disaster for the “Yellow Submarine.” It’s clear that the DANA storm break negatively affected the team, and since its end, Villarreal has been playing much differently.
However, Villarreal remains a strong contender for the top 4. Currently, they are in 6th place, just 7 points behind the 4th position, though they have two matches in hand.
Heading into the match against Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal is on a three-match losing streak. In their last match, they lost 1-2 to Real Betis, and prior to that, they were defeated 0-2 by Athletic Bilbao and 0-1 by Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey.
Rayo Vallecano is a solid mid-table team in La Liga this season, whereas in the previous campaign, they were battling relegation. Currently, Rayo Vallecano is in 13th place with 20 points, with one match in hand. A victory over Villarreal could lift Rayo Vallecano into the top 10.
Over the weekend, Inigo Perez’s team created one of the biggest surprises of the week by drawing 3-3 with Real Madrid. Before that, Rayo Vallecano won 1-0 against Valencia, but suffered losses to Athletic Bilbao (1-2) and Sevilla (0-1).
