Celta de Vigo - Rayo Vallecano predictions

Celta de Vigo are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Rayo Vallecano may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The odds are stacked heavily against Rayo Vallecano here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Sky Blues are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.08.

The top online sportsbooks agreed that the last round was a very difficult match-up for Celta. All hope seemed lost during half time against Sevilla , yet somehow they managed to turn things around and end the game with an astonishing 1:2away win.

Rayo Vallecano’s previous La Liga match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Real Betis, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. Rayo Vallecano then proceeded to decisively win the match 2:0.

Team from Vigo’s recent La Liga away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 7 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Rayo Vallecano’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

With the season’s end rapidly approaching, Celta will need to take care not to stumble into the relegation zone. They have 5 points separating them so far, so at least a draw here would do a lot of good for them.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. The Sky Blues may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Rayo Vallecano.

With Joseph Aidoo, Renato Tapia, Williot Swedberg, Luca De La Torre, Carlos Dotor, Mihailo Ristić all out of the picture, Celta’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

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.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.72 odds.
