Rayo Vallecano are having a rough time right now. They haven't won any of their last five games, losing four of them, and they've been conceding a lot of goals along the way. Athletic Club are in better shape, with a couple of draws and a win in their recent matches, though they also had a heavy loss. When these two meet, the games have often been tight, with several ending level or decided by a single goal, and a few have had plenty of goals too.

Overall, this looks like a close match that could go either way, but Athletic Club seem the stronger side at the moment. A draw or a narrow win for Athletic Club feels most likely.
