Real Valladolid - Rayo Vallecano predictions

Real Valladolid will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Rayo Vallecano don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.10 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Real Valladolid on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

The Pucelanos held the fort for full 45 minutes in the previous La Liga home match. A tied first half turned into a narrow defeat, however, which had the Valladolid supporters leave the stadium with their heads bowed down.

Rayo Vallecano will have been disappointed with the fact they only drew 1:1 in the previous round of the La Liga. They were seen as firm favourites against Leganés with 1.86 betting odds stacked in their favour. They were on the right path towards victory after taking the lead in the first half but it all came to nothing as rivals managed to hold them to a draw.

Real Valladolid have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Rayo Vallecano fans are hoping they’ll be able to break the stalemate this time. Their latest 3 games all ended in a draw, which is far from ideal.

Being in the relegation zone is not yet a disaster for Valladolid because the season is still in its early stages. However, walking away with 3 points this Saturday will be quite difficult, which makes their job of earning 0 points all the more difficult.

Rayo Vallecano are 9th in the standings with 10 points won so far. Such results are rather mediocre, and the season could yet see either a drastic improvement or a slump from them. A win at The PucelanosS would be a great way to prove they have what it takes to reach the top positions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.61 odds offered at Pncl.
