Rayo Vallecano, coached by Andoni Iraola, had not tasted victory in seven straight fixtures. Their last win came on February 6, a 2-0 triumph over Almería. Since then, the club recorded five draws and two losses, a stretch that has cooled their European hopes and set their sights on stabilizing their season rather than chasing lofty targets.
