Rayo Vallecano - Espanyol betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 01:00 on 21/05/2023 played @ Estadio de Vallecas

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

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Espanyol are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Although Rayo Vallecano’s previous La Liga outing at Real Betis was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Real Betis , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 3:1 victory in the end.

Espanyol played against Barcelona last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 2:4 home loss. The 1.66 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Espanyol’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

A 2 -point deficit is hard to overcome if you’re already stuck in the relegation zone, which is what Espanyol need to do. However, it’s downright impossible considering the unfavourable matchup and the fact that the season is just about over.

The two teams already met this season in the La Liga, with Rayo Vallecano taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

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 2.18, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
