Jorge de Frutos has been a standout player for Rayo, leading the team with 10 goals in 25 matches. In contrast, Levante’s Etta Eyong has contributed 6 goals in the same number of appearances, but the team has struggled defensively, conceding 45 goals in 27 matches.
Levante has shown some improvement recently, managing to earn four points from their last two league games. However, their defensive record remains one of the worst in La Liga, which could be a significant factor in the upcoming match.
Rayo Vallecano has been particularly strong at home this season, losing only twice in La Liga at the Estadio de Vallecas. This home advantage could play a crucial role as they look to secure another victory against Levante.
