Rayo Vallecano return to La Liga business on Monday evening when they take on Valencia at the Estadio de Vallecas.
The hosts come into this fixture after a disappointing midweek Conference League defeat in Bratislava, while Valencia resume their La Liga campaign after a hard-fought win against city rivals Levante last time out.
Past meetings between these sides have been particularly tight, and another hard-fought battle seems likely again in the final fixture of the weekend.

Rayo Vallecano and Valencia have met on nine occasions since 2019. Rayo won three of those games while Valencia claimed just one win. Four matches finished level while all but one game finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Rayo Vallecano team overview
Rayo Vallecano come into Monday's La Liga contest after a surprise 2:1 defeat against Slovan Bratislava in the Conference League. Despite taking a first-half lead, two goals conceded in the second period left Iñigo Pérez's side empty-handed in Slovakia.
Los Franjirrojos have gone through a difficult spell in recent weeks, with just one win picked up in their last five games. The hosts did claim a 0:0 draw against Real Madrid in their most recent fixture at Estadio de Vallecas.
Goals seem likely to be in short supply on Monday. Rayo Vallecano have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last seven matches and in eight of their last nine matches against Valencia.
Both teams have struggled to find much winning form in recent weeks, and a share of the points could prove the best bet on Monday. Rayo have been held to draws in their last two league games, and in five of their eight previous matches against Valencia.
Head coach Perez has a lengthy list of absentees this weekend. Óscar Trejo, Pedro Díaz and Abdul Mumin are ruled out, while Pathé Ismaël Ciss and Isi Palazón are both suspended. Randy Nteka and Alfonso Espino are doubtful, and will be assessed closer to kick-off.

Valencia team overview
Valencia make the trip to Madrid looking to build on a narrow 1:0 win against Levante last weekend. Hugo Duro's late goal secured a vital victory for Carlos Corberán's side.
Los Che have enjoyed an improved spell, picking up two wins and a draw in their last four matches across all competitions. Valencia are now up to 13th in the division, just three points behind the home side.
The visitors also boast a solid record in this fixture, remaining unbeaten in six of their last eight matches against Rayo.
Like the hosts, low-scoring outcomes have been fairly frequent. Four of Valencia's last five games finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Corberán has a strong squad available this weekend. Mouctar Diakhaby and Largie Ramazani are the only doubts, with both set to face late fitness tests.
