Rayo Vallecano concede quite little – on average less than one goal per game. Due to a good game in defense, they had three clean sheets, which is a good result, considering that Rayo does not have the resources of a top club. It is important for a mid-table team to have a reliable goalkeeper, and Augusto Batalha is doing a great job with an average of 3.3 important saves.
Las Palmas are having a tough season.The club is currently second from the bottom, which puts them in a very uncomfortable position. Last round the team lost to Atletico with a score of 0:2 and created practically nothing in attack with a disastrous rate of expected goals of 0.02. And the problems in defense do not allow to count on higher positions, and most likely, until the end of the season the team will fight for survival.
