A bit of history
They call them the Matagigantes, and for good reason: 2016 Libertadores runners-up out of nowhere, plus two Sudamericana titles (2019 and 2022). A small club that plays big.
Fun fact
The Rayados del Valle are famous for their youth factory: it has produced stars now playing in Europe. They press high, Bielsa-style.
Why follow them
They have the best striker in the round: Paraguay's Carlos González scored 6 of the team's 11 group-stage goals. Junior Sornoza is the brain.
