Real Madrid are back in La Liga action against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday after a shock home loss in midweek to CSKA Moscow.

Santiago Solari’s weakened team lost 3-0 to CSKA on Wednesday, their worst ever home defeat in the Champions League. They beat Huesca 1-0 last week and are in fourth place on 26 points.

Rayo Vallecano have only won two games this season, and they lost 2-0 at Real Betis last week; they’re second from bottom on 10 points.

What time does it start?

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano kicks off at 5:30pm (GMT) on Saturday 15th December.

Where can I watch it?

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano will be shown live online on Eleven Sports 1 from 5:30pm (GMT).

Highlights will be uploaded to the Eleven Sports website after the match.

Player to watch…

Gareth Bale: The 29-year-old has scored seven goals so far this season, and scored Los Blancos’ winner against Huesca last week. The Welsh winger has scored 74 goals in 140 league matches since signing for Madrid five years ago, and will be looking to add to that tally against the joint-worst defence in the league.

Form guide…

Real Madrid: LWWWWL

Rayo Vallecano: LDLWLL

Odds…

Real Madrid to win: 1/8

Rayo Vallecano to win: 15/1
