Iñigo Perez is pleased with the results of his team, as Rayo Vallecano withstood the pressure of strong opponents in the past rounds. First, they fought off Atletico (1:1), and in the last match they nearly defeated Champions League participant Girona. The Lightning players are confident in their own abilities and are ready to continue to show a high level of soccer.
Leganes in the last round played well in the away match against Getafe. The team held the defense well and opened the scoring, realizing, perhaps, their only chance from a free kick. They are noticeably lacking strong players in all lines. The emerging forward Aller closed the vacant spot in attack, but there are still no stable midfielders in the center of the field. With six points, Leganes are 15th in the standings.
Rayo Vallecano has picked up the shape. The team adapted to the new scheme of the coach. There is reliability in defense, and positional offense regularly creates problems for the opponent. And Leganes lacks experience and strong performers.
