Rayo Vallecano host Celta Vigo at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas in Madrid on Sunday, November 1, 2026, in a LaLiga fixture that carries real weight for both sides at opposite ends of the table.
Rayo come into this one in difficult form. Benat San Jose's side lost 3-0 to Elche last weekend, a result that leaves them sitting 16th in LaLiga and in need of a response on home soil.
Celta, by contrast, arrive in considerably better shape. Claudio Giraldez's team are ninth in the table and unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions, including a Europa League win over Celtic.
The head-to-head record between these clubs adds an interesting layer. Celta won the last meeting 3-0 in January 2026, but Rayo claimed a 2-1 victory at Vallecas in January 2025, so the home side will draw on that precedent.
With Rayo needing points to climb clear of the relegation zone, this is a fixture they cannot afford to approach passively. Find out where to watch and how to live stream the match below.
