Rayo Vallecano returned to La Liga following the results of the draw before last. Then, led by a young mentor, Andoni Iraola (although as a football player, a defender, this is a legend, especially Athletic), they took only 6th place in the Segunda. But then there was success in the playoffs. The “bees” have played in La Liga before. That's just there, basically, they didn’t show much - and experts were waiting for a failure. Nevertheless, the capital project had a powerful first part of the season, finishing it in the group of leaders. And in 2022, they switched to the Cup, reaching the semi-finals there. In the new season, Rayo Vallecano wins regularly enough to stay in the middle of the standings. The only embarrassing thing is that 1-3 with Almeria has already become the 2nd defeat in 3 rounds. But between them there was a victory over Elche. Getafe under Pepe Bordalas at one time almost fought for the 4th, “Champion League” place. And they played in the Europa League in the spring playoffs. But when the mentor left the project that had begun to deflate, they paid for it with a disastrous start last season. As a result, it turned out to quickly find a new worthy coach already in the midst of the crisis. More precisely, Quique Sanchez Flores, who once occupied the post, returned to the club. As a result, the “subdivisions” even took 15th place. But do not overestimate it: in fact, they were only 1 point ahead of the relegated Granada. It was clear that the new season would not be easier. And they really started with 1 point in 4 fights. Only after that, already in September, they managed to quite unexpectedly beat both Real Sociedad and Osasuna, sharply improving their position. True, October began with a 2-3 home game against Valladolid. And then they lost to Real Madrid, however, in a decent fight and with a minimum score.

Last season, the teams crossed paths for the first time after a pause of several years. Then the newcomer turned out to be stronger: Rayo Vallecano won 3-0 at home and reduced the away

巴列卡诺在前些天的平局后回到了西甲。然后，在年轻导师安多尼·伊拉拉(尽管作为一名足球运动员，一名后卫，这是一个传奇，特别是竞技)的带领下，他们在第二阶段只获得了第6名。但后来他们在季后赛取得了成功。“蜜蜂”以前在西甲踢过球。就是这样，基本上，他们没有表现出太多的东西——专家们在等待失败。尽管如此，首都项目在本赛季的前半段表现强劲，在领先的团队中完成了它。2022年，他们转战世界杯，在那里打进了半决赛。在新赛季，巴列卡诺赢得了足够多的胜利，保持在积分榜的中间位置。唯一尴尬的是1-3输给阿尔梅里亚已经是3轮以来的第二场失利了。但在他们之间有一场对埃尔切的胜利。在佩佩·博尔达拉斯的带领下，赫塔菲一度几乎要争夺第4名，“冠军联赛”的位置。他们参加了春季的欧联杯季后赛。但当导师离开这个已经开始走下坡路的项目时，他们在上一季以一个灾难性的开始付出了代价。结果，他们很快就找到了一位处于危机之中的有价值的新教练。更确切地说，曾经担任这一职位的基克·桑切斯·弗洛雷斯回到了俱乐部。结果，“细分”甚至排在了第15位。但不要高估它:事实上，他们只领先降级的格拉纳达1分。很明显，新赛季不会更轻松。一开始他们4场比赛只拿到1分。在那之后，已经是9月份了，他们出人意料地击败了皇家社会和奥萨苏纳，大幅提升了自己的排名。的确，10月一开始就在主场2比3击败了瓦拉多利德。然而，在一场体面的比赛中，他们以最低分输给了皇家马德里。

上个赛季，两队在时隔数年后首次相遇。然后，新来者变得更强:拉约巴列卡诺在主场3-0获胜，减少了客场的损失
