Rayo Vallecano - Valencia predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Valencia. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Rayo Vallecano, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The away loss Rayo Vallecano went through in the previous round at Athletic Bilbao wasn’t much of a surprise, though the first half was. They scraped together a lead at the 45-minute mark, but it all fell apart before the end, resulting in a 3:1 defeat.

Top online bookmakers gave Valencia odds of 3.52 to win their previous game, meaning it was bound to be a close call. They took an early lead and proceeded to turn it into a $RESULT victory, much to the delight of their home supporters.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Rayo Vallecano’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Valencia netted 6 goals in the last three away games, implying a very strong attack-minded performance even as visitors.

Rayo Vallecano played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
