Valencia 1-1 Rayo Vallecano result, stats and report

Getafe showed real backbone to salvage a point against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, equalising through Martín Satriano after playing more than an hour with ten men following Dakonam Djené's red card.

Valencia created five big chances and failed to convert a single one in a goalless draw with Athletic Club, a result that summed up everything wrong with a side that cannot turn desire into points. Athletic Club, organised and disciplined, took what they needed and left.

Racing Santander made nine saves and competed like their lives depended on it, but Valencia nicked a point they barely earned. Two sides who cannot defend. One result that helps neither of them.

Valencia have won once in their last five La Liga matches and Villarreal have taken both head-to-head meetings between these sides. Something has to give on Saturday.

Real Sociedad host Rayo Vallecano on Sunday with goals flying in at both ends for both sides. This one has all the ingredients for another open, messy affair.

Valencia are wobbling badly and Real Madrid are coming to Mestalla with a perfect head-to-head record between these two sides. This could get ugly.

Elche host Valencia on Sunday with both sides in desperate form and neither able to keep a clean sheet. Something has to give, but right now there is very little evidence either side knows how to stop the bleeding.
