Almeria vs Rayo Vallecano: La Liga Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

The first fixture of the 2023-24 La Liga season is scheduled for Friday evening at Power Horse Stadium or Estadio de los Juegos del Mediterraneo, where Almeria will host Rayo Vallecano. In the previous season, Almeria narrowly escaped relegation from the top tier of Spanish football, concluding their campaign in the 17th position, a mere point ahead of the relegation zone. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano secured an 11th-place finish, collecting 49 points during their journey.

Almeria’s primary objective last season was to steer clear of relegation. Despite facing many challenges, La Union found themselves in the 17th position, a mere one-point ahead of 18th-placed Real Valladolid. During the ongoing transfer window, Almeria has made significant moves, adding Luis Suarez, Dion Lopy, and Edgar Gonzalez to their squad. Simultaneously, several players have departed. Almeria has achieved victories in two of their five preseason friendlies.

On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano has also undergone a managerial change, as Francisco takes the position from Andoni Iraola, who moved to Premier League side Bournemouth. Rayo finds themselves in their third consecutive La Liga season, having achieved 12th and 11th place finishes in the past two campaigns. Notably, they scored 49 points during the successful 2022-23 season, a mere four points behind the seventh spot. Rayo has also been active in the summer transfer window, acquiring Florian Lejeune, Alfonso Espino, and Aridane Hernandez. Conversely, there have been several departures, most notably Fran Garcia, who returned to Real Madrid.
