Matchup Preview
RAY welcomes ESP to Vallecas Stadium in La Liga on Thursday. The home side sits at 3-7 in their last 10 matches, averaging 1.3 goals scored per game while allowing just 1.2. They're riding a W1 streak into this clash. ESP, meanwhile, is in dire straits with a 0-10 L10 record, matching RAY's 1.3 PPG output but leaking 2.3 goals per game on a brutal L10 streak. Despite both teams' low scoring, RAY's defensive solidity could exploit ESP's backline woes.
