Rayo Vallecano (17th, 26 pts): - The last time Paco Jemez's man recorded a win was when UD Las Palmas visited Vallecas six matchdays ago. Since that triumph, three draws and two defeats have followed and the hosts now need to string together some wins to put some distance between themselves and the drop zone.
- Rayo Vallecano have six wins to their name so far this term. Only one of these victories has come on the road, back on Matchday 4 against Las Palmas, whilst all of their others triumphs have been at Vallecas. Los Franjirrojos have won two of their last three home outings and Paco Jemez's troops are well aware that their home form will be critical to their chances of staying in the division.
SD Eibar (8th, 36 pts): - Just like the hosts, Los Armeros aren't going through the best of spells right now, with Jose Luis Mendilibar's side having lost their last four games. Nevertheless, the Basques still remain in eighth position and sit just eight points off the European places.
- In the reverse fixture, a Diego Llorente own goal proved to be the difference between the sides as Eibar ran out 1-0 winners. The visitors will be looking for a repeat of that result as they seek to arrest their slide.
Don't leave Madrid without… visiting the Royal Palace ('El Palacio Real'), the largest of its kind in Europe and part of Spain's national heritage. The palace's artistic richness sets it apart and makes it a must-see for any visitor.
