Key Players
Real Madrid’s attacking duo of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior will be critical if Real Madrid are to get a favourable result in this matchup. In the 9 matches that Vinicius has played in the Spanish La Liga seasons 2021/22, he has scored 7 goals and has 2 assists to his name in the 14 shots on target that he’s made. Such accuracy will be critical in a game in which neither side will have too many attempts on target.
After having scored the winning goal against Barcelona, Rayo Vallecano’s Falcao will be high on confidence and will be hoping to score another goal against Real Madrid. In the 4 matches that Falcao has played in the Spanish La Liga season 2021/22, he has scored a total of 4 goals with the 8 shots that he’s made on target.
Prediction
It’s highly likely that this game ends as a draw but given the attacking talents on display in this matchup, there are going to be a lot of goals in this fixture between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.
