Osasuna - Rayo Vallecano predictions

Osasuna will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Rayo Vallecano. The price of 2.52 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

While Osasuna can’t exactly be happy with their 1:0 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Espanyol .

The start of Rayo Vallecano’s previous match against Barcelona was going according to most betting predictions – the obvious favourites, Barcelona, took the lead. Rayo Vallecano were playing on home turf, however, and secured an unexpected 1:1 draw as the final result.

Osasuna’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for Osasuna. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 2.52 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The 888Sport sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.65, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
