Rayo Vallecano host in-form Celta Vigo at Vallecas
Rayo Vallecano return to the Estadio de Vallecas on matchday 11 of La Liga to face Celta Vigo, a fixture that comes just days after the club confirmed a stretch of absences ahead of this run of league games.
Both sides arrive with mixed recent form. Rayo have won once, drawn three times and lost once in their last five, while Celta Vigo have collected two wins, two draws and a single defeat over the same span, giving the visitors a slightly stronger recent record heading into the match.
Head-to-head history
The two sides have met regularly in recent seasons with no clear dominance either way. Celta Vigo won the most recent meeting 3-0 in January 2026, having also edged a 1-1 draw with Rayo in September 2025. Further back, Rayo claimed a 2-1 win in January 2025 and a 1-2 away victory in May 2025, while the two clubs played out a goalless draw in March 2024.
That spread of results suggests a tightly contested fixture is likely again, with home advantage for Rayo offset by Celta's better recent form.
With both teams showing similar levels of inconsistency over their last five outings, matchday 11 at Vallecas looks set to be a closely fought affair between two sides looking to build momentum in the league table.
