Espanyol - Rayo Vallecano predictions

Though Espanyol definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Rayo Vallecano are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Espanyol on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

The host are coming off from a morale-boosting Atlético Madrid draw. Why morale-boosting? Because Espanyol were given close to zero per cent chances of getting anything from their last trip. However, a draw at halftime and the end (Atlético Madrid) make for a very good result overall.

Rayo Vallecano’s lead in the first half of their previous home game was an incredible shock. Their opponents Barcelona were given odds of 1.64, marking them as hard favourites. The 1:2 final result, on the other hand, was foreseen by most betting predictions.

If you’re looking for an Under 5 Goals football bet, Espanyol may offer a decent opportunity. Their previous two matches even confirmed the Under 5 Goals market.

It’s a tough match to find betting value, but there are options to be found. For example, a Draw/Draw prediction for the HT/FT market rates quite well at odds of 2.85. It’s not what we would call a safe bet, but compares quite well in terms of value.
