The “Bees” were forced to skip the previous round due to flooding in Valencia, leaving the Madrid club in ninth place in the standings. However, this unplanned break increased their gap from the European competition zone to three points.
In their last La Liga match played, Rayo secured a narrow 1-0 home win over Alaves. Notably, in their last seven league matches, the team has suffered only one defeat, showing consistency with three wins and three draws. At home, Rayo Vallecano has lost just once in five games, with two wins.
The club is still young, even by the standards of the Caucasus region, having been founded only in 2017. However, after just three seasons, they achieved maximum results: second place, as well as winning the Cup and Supercup. They have not been able to repeat that success, but at least they secured the vice-champion title for the first time in recent cycles.
The team started its season in mid-summer, and in qualifying, they managed to eliminate opponents such as Shkendija, Sliema Wanderers, AEK, and Ruzomberok, although often with some effort. In the group stage, they won at home against Mlada Boleslav, before narrowly losing to Rapid Vienna.
