Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol are set to lock horns at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas on matchday six of La Liga. The visitors are high on spirits as they head into this clash, unbeaten in their last two league games; hence, our prediction is for a hard-fought away win.
Rayo Vallecano are 16th in the league standings and have accumulated four points from five games. Only two points separate them from the relegation zone, and a win here could see them climb as high as ninth place given results elsewhere.
The home side enter this clash riding low on confidence. In their recent match, they were dealt a huge blow, suffering a 4-1 away defeat to Real Madrid. Before this result, the team secured their first win of the season, beating Racing Santander 3-2 at home.
With home advantage at their disposal, the Red Sashes will be hoping to return to winning ways. So far, Benat San Jose's men have avoided defeat in their last two home league games (W1, D1).
Espanyol are in ninth place in the league standings and have accumulated seven points thus far. Three points separate them from third-placed Alaves.
Unlike their opponents, confidence is high as the White and Blue enter this clash boasting a two-match unbeaten run. Their recent match saw them secure a comfortable 2-0 away win to Osasuna, and are out to make it two straight wins.

The hosts have lost two of their last three league games and their recent thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid over the weekend has surely dented their confidence.

Espanyol are riding high on momentum and are aiming to secure their second straight league win and extend their unbeaten run to three games. On the road, they've won two of their last three league meetings against this opponent. Therefore, our Rayo Vallecano vs Espanyol prediction is: Espanyol wins.
