In the last match of the sixteenth round of the Spanish La Liga, Rayo Vallecano will welcome Celta Vigo at home. Based on what has been shown in the previous part of the championship, the home team is the favorite, but they will have to justify that role on the field on Monday. After fifteen played rounds, Rayo Vallecano is in the middle of the table, more precisely in 11th place, with nineteen points won, and they are equally far from the relegation zone and from the places that lead to Europe next season. The home team was in a much better position until mid-October and I believe that the fans of this club hoped that their club could win one of the European competitions. However, the series of difficult matches contributed greatly to the drop in the standings, which could change after this match. They played against Sociedad, Real Madrid, the surprise of this season Girona, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, and the three points they won in those matches is a really good result if we consider the quality of the rivals.

Celta started the new season disastrously, which is best confirmed by their position in the table, and ahead of this round the guests are in the relegation zone, in eighteenth place, with only nine points won, three less than Cadiz. In addition, Celta has only one triumph in the current part of the championship, and that was in the fourth round against Almeria. The previous week, they had the opportunity to escape from the danger zone, considering that they welcomed their direct competitor in the fight for survival, Cadiz, on their field. The guests took the lead already in the 16th minute, and after the red card for Cadiz, Celta fans hoped that their pets could turn things around. However, the home team, despite the fact that they were a much better rival, only managed to reach a tie and thus increase the dissatisfaction of everyone in the club with what was done in the previous part of the championship. With 15 goals scored after as many games, Celta is among the most ineffective in the league and that is one of the reasons for their poor position in the table. Both teams are of similar quality and I think we are in for a fairly even match. Considering that Rayo Vallecano is playing quite well at home, I believe that they can win at least one point in this match.

在西甲第16轮的最后一场比赛中，巴列卡诺将在主场迎接维戈塞尔塔。从之前的比赛来看，主队是夺冠热门，但他们必须在周一的比赛中证明自己的地位。经过15轮比赛，巴列卡诺队排名中游，更准确地说是第11位，赢得了19分，他们离降级区和下赛季通往欧洲赛场的席位同样遥远。在10月中旬之前，主队的处境要好得多，我相信俱乐部的球迷希望他们的俱乐部能赢得一项欧洲赛事。然而，一系列艰难的比赛对排名的下降起到了很大的作用，这场比赛之后可能会有所改变。他们对阵过社会、皇家马德里、本赛季最令人惊讶的赫罗纳、巴塞罗那和毕尔巴鄂竞技，如果我们考虑到对手的实力，他们在这些比赛中赢得的三分是一个非常好的结果。

塞尔塔在新赛季的开局是灾难性的，他们在积分榜上的位置最好地证明了这一点，在本轮比赛之前，客队处于降级区，排名第18位，只赢了9分，比加的斯少3分。此外，塞尔塔在目前的联赛中只有一场胜利，那就是在第四轮对阵阿尔梅里亚的比赛中。上周，他们有机会逃离危险地带，考虑到他们欢迎他们在生存之战中的直接竞争对手加的斯，在他们的领域。客人队在第16分钟就取得了领先，在加的斯得到红牌后，塞尔塔球迷希望他们的宠物能扭转局面。然而，主队，尽管他们是一个强大得多的对手，却只取得了平局，从而增加了俱乐部每个人对前一阶段联赛的不满。同样多场比赛打进15球，塞尔塔是联赛中效率最低的球队之一，这也是他们在积分榜上排名不高的原因之一。两支球队的实力相当，我认为我们将会迎来一场势均力敌的比赛。考虑到巴列卡诺在主场的表现，我相信他们至少能在这场比赛中赢得一分。
