Rayo Vallecano - Deportivo Alavés predictions

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

Alaves appear severely unprepared for a clash with Rayo Vallecano, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.08 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Rayo Vallecano were not exactly favourites in their previous La Liga clash but they still ended up claiming a rather convincing Levante victory after keeping it level after 45 minutes.

The visiting team are here on the back of a somewhat disappointing draw. They had the home-field advantage for that bout, and their supporters were hoping that would be enough for them to overcome Valencia. Unfortunately for them, the whole game was a protracted stalemate, ending with 0:0 on the scoreboard.

The crowd at Estadio de Vallecas can’t be unhappy with their offensive abilities – they scored 6 times over their latest three home games.

The home team in this game are off to a decent start in the season, but placement at 11th won’t get them to the Europa League. They’ll need another 3 points for that, and scoring 3 in this challenging matchup would help greatly.

The visitors are at a clear disadvantage in a matchup like this, so moving up from their current table position doesn’t seem likely. They’re currently sitting at spot number 10th. On the bright side, most of the season is yet to be played, so they may realize their Europa ambitions yet.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Rayo Vallecano secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.54, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
