Real Madrid host Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga

Real Madrid prepare to face Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu on September 12, 2026, seeking a return to winning form. Jose Mourinho’s side enters the fixture following a loss to Real Betis last weekend. Historical data shows that Real Madrid remains undefeated against Rayo Vallecano at home over their last five league meetings, securing four victories and one draw since November 2021. Despite this record, recent encounters have been competitive, with three of those four wins finishing 2-1. Real Madrid currently competes with Barcelona for the top of the La Liga table and requires a victory to maintain pace in the title race. The upcoming match serves as a test for Los Blancos to demonstrate whether their previous loss was an isolated result or a symptom of broader team issues.
