Celta de Vigo - Rayo Vallecano betting tips and odds

Celta de Vigo might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Rayo Vallecano are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Rayo Vallecano seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.00, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Celta’s previous away game against Osasuna was an altogether dull affair as far as the result goes, though they shouldn’t be unhappy with the 0:0 draw. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the runtime, but Team from Vigo’s opponents were widely considered the stronger team.

While Rayo Vallecano’s previous La Liga match didn’t end in triumph, the 0:0 draw is a net positive for them. Despite playing at home, the odds were still against them - 3.00, to be exact. Still, the teams proved to be evenly matched both at half-time and the final result.

Based on their recent history, games in which Rayo Vallecano play are often good candidates for bets like Under 5 Goals. Their previous two outings ended up confirming the more risky Under 5 variant.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Thankfully, Rayo Vallecano will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.58.
