On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano have lost only twice in their last 12 matches across all competitions (W6, D4), despite playing against significantly tougher opponents in the Spanish top flight and the UEFA Conference League.
Keeping in mind that Rayo kept two clean sheets in their last three domestic fixtures, we are confident that the visitors will win without conceding.
