One of the LaLiga games due to take place on Sunday sees Real Madrid welcome Rayo Vallecano, also from the Spanish capital, to the iconic venue of Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Can the hosts continue to push for the title by picking up another vital win?
For Sunday's hosts, it's all about fighting on multiple fronts. Having taken a slender lead against bitter rivals Atletico in the UCL during the week, they'll look to beat another of their Madrid neighbours on Sunday, whilst also keeping things fresh for the return leg against Atleti next week. Can they carry out the balancing act to good effect? We'll find out.
Seen as one of the lesser Madrid teams by the wider footballing community, Rayo Vallecano is very much the beating heart of Villa de Vallecas area of the city, and this season, the team has done the district proud. As things stand, Sunday's visitors sit just outside of the European places in a lofty seventh place. If they continue to pick up regular points, as they have done all season, then there's no reason why the mean in striking white-with-red-sash jerseys can't feature in UEFA competition next season. Who knows, they may even cause an upset here.
