Real Madrid vs. Rayo Vallecano: What's the story?

Real Madrid will enter this match off the back of an incredible 4-2 defeat to Benfica in the league stage of the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos must now navigate their way through a two-legged knockout round playoff in order to be present in the last-16 stage of the European Cup.

The focus has to be on La Liga for the moment, though, with Real Madrid chasing down leaders Barcelona - the gap is currently a single point, but Barcelona will have the chance to move four points clear when they face Elche on Saturday night.

Arbeloa's side will be determined to bounce back from their European disappointment, but four of their last five league matches against Rayo have finished all square, including a goalless draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

In fact, Real Madrid have won just two of their seven matches against Los Franjirrojos.
