The upcoming La Liga match between Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid is scheduled for November 9, 2025, at Estadio de Vallecas. Real Madrid's lineup has been confirmed, featuring key players such as Courtois, Valverde, Bellingham, Vinicius, and Mbappe. Trent Alexander-Arnold, recently recovered from injury, is considered 'ready' to start after limited appearances this season due to competition and fitness issues, according to coach Xabi Alonso. Alonso highlighted Madrid's recent performances, including a 4-0 win over Valencia and a challenging defeat to Liverpool, emphasizing the need for consistency. Madrid currently leads La Liga with 30 points from 11 games, five points ahead of second-placed Barcelona, with their form reflecting a strong start to the season. Rayo Vallecano, positioned 11th with 14 points, has shown mixed results, including wins over Valencia and Alavés but losses in European competitions. Their lineup for the match is yet to be finalized, with key players like Batalla, Ratiu, and Mendy expected to feature. Historically, Madrid has dominated their head-to-head meetings, winning 26 of 34 encounters, with Rayo winning only four. The match will be broadcast on DAZN La Liga in Spain and ESPN Deportes in the USA, with streaming available via ESPN+. The game is set to kick off at 16:15 CET. The fixture is crucial for Madrid to maintain their top position and for Rayo to improve their standing. Alonso’s squad aims to bounce back from recent setbacks and showcase their strength in a hostile Vallecas environment.
