Match Facts:
Granada CF (18th, 27 pts):
- A draw at home to Espanyol last weekend saw Granada climb out of the bottom three for the first time in eight games, although the Andalusian side are on the same number of points as Rayo Vallecano.
- There is more than just three points at stake for Granada against Rayo. Head to heads could prove crucial to both sides come the end of the campaign and Rayo ran out 2-1 winners at Vallecas earlier in the season.
- The Andalusian side have won three of their last six home games in the league.
Rayo Vallecano (17th, 27 pts):
- The Madrid-based club travels to Granada without a win in six games, a run that sees them sitting dangerously close to the drop zone.
- Despite that, Paco Jemez and co. have avoided defeat in four of their last five away games, strangely all by the same result (2-2), although they have not won on the road in twelve matches.
- However, Rayo have very fond memories of their recent trips to Granada, where they have won in three of their last four visits.
