Last season, Rayo Vallecano finished as the first team above the drop zone. They certainly hope to return to the much safer mid-table position in the current year. Rayo Vallecano started the 2024/25 season with a good nine points from seven league rounds. In the previous match, they played 0-0 on the road against Girona. The home side finished with 71% ball possession and a much higher number of goal-scoring opportunities, but Inigo Perez's team defended well, so Rayo Vallecano picked up another valuable point. 

After four years of absence, Leganes returned to La Liga. They are one of the weakest teams at the highest level of Spanish, so avoiding relegation should be the primary goal for Borja Gimenez's team. Leganes started the season with five points in the first three league rounds, but in the next four matches, they collected only one point more. In the previous game, Leganes played 1-1 on the road against Getafe. The home side was the favorite for the win, so Leganes should be satisfied with breaking the negative record of three defeats in a row. 

Rayo Vallecano vs Leganes pick: Rayo Vallecano to win

Rayo Vallecano are without a defeat in the last three matches. On the other hand, Leganes won only one point in the previous four La Liga rounds. Rayo Vallecano are the better team, and they should win against Leganes on Saturday.
