Rayo Vallecano has never been a top-tier contender in La Liga, but their displays across the last two campaigns have been surprisingly solid. After finishing 8th in the league the season before last, they kept up their steady run last term, ending the 38-match season with a record of 12 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses. They collected 50 total points to rank 8th, with 6 wins at home and 7 on the road, demonstrating well-balanced strength across different venues. This season, the team has lost two key defenders: right back Pep Chavaria moved to Chelsea, while centre-back Noble Mendy completed a 19.7 million pound transfer to Hull City. After 7 rounds of the current league campaign, they have only recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses for 8 points, sitting 12th in the standings for now.

Rayo Vallecano has never been considered a top-tier force in La Liga, but their performances across the last two campaigns have far outpaced their usual strength level. After landing 8th in the league table two seasons ago, they kept up their steady run last term, finishing the full 38-game season with a 12-win, 14-draw, 12-loss record. They bagged 50 total points to lock in another 8th-place finish, with 6 wins at home and 7 on the road showing their fairly balanced strength across different venues. This season, the team has seen key defensive exits: right back Pep Chavarría joined Chelsea, while centre-back Norbert Mendy completed a £19.7 million transfer to Hull City. These squad changes have clearly impacted their early form, as they currently sit 12th in the standings after 7 rounds, with just 8 points earned from 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

Levante builds a complete offensive and defensive framework at home with a 3-5-2 wing-back system. The two wing-backs are responsible for high-intensity sprints, taking into account both defensive cover in the back and offensive support in the front. They mainly rely on crosses from the flanks and aerial battles in the penalty area to create goal-scoring opportunities. The home team averages 6.2 dribbles past opponents on the flanks per game. The overall success rate of their aerial duels is 48.5%. They are also quite effective in creating chances from set-pieces in the front. However, Levante's defense has a relatively slow lateral movement. When the opponents continuously shift the ball horizontally to mobilize the defense, the overall defensive line is prone to being stretched, leaving minor defensive loopholes.
