Rayo Vallecano host Shkendija in this 2025-26 UEFA Conference League matchday one fixture on Thursday. The Red Sashes will look to turn a corner from their poor start to the season with a win against the North Macedonian champions. Here is our prediction for the match.
Since their impressive 3-1 away win over Girona in the opening weekend, Rayo Vallecano have yet to secure their second win in their next six La Liga matches. This underwhelming run includes a 1-0 home defeat to Sevilla at the weekend.
However, Iñigo Pérez's side ended their 24-year wait to reach the main phase of UEFA club competition following a 5-0 aggregate victory over Belarusian side Neman Grodno. They are unbeaten in seven of their last eight home fixtures since last season.
Shkendija have finally reached the main phase of UEFA club competition after multiple attempts in the qualifiers. The Ballists dropped to Europe's third tier following a 5-3 aggregate defeat to Ludogorets in Europa League qualification final round.
They defeated Sileks 2-0 in the domestic league last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to six matches (W5, D1) and strengthen their bid for a sixth league title. However, the North Macedonian champions haven't really impressed in Europe. They have lost three of their last four European club competition qualifiers, including both of their most recent away qualifiers.
