Valencia - Rayo Vallecano predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

At 3.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Rayo Vallecano are well aware of it themselves.

Valencia fans cannot be happy with the showing they witnessed last round at Estadio de Mestalla. An uneventful first half was followed by an unexpected concession in the later stages of the game, resulting in a harsh home defeat.

Rayo Vallecano fans are hoping for a better performance than what they saw in the previous round of La Liga. Even though most betting predictions assumed they would come out on top against Almería, they suffered a narrow 0:1 home defeat.

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.

Valencia 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 Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Mouctar Diakhaby, Gayá, Jaume Doménech, Vazquez Alcalde, Perez Martinez will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Playing a somewhat risky Home Win bet is the best move for this particular matchup. The odds of 2.36 are good in terms of value, but you need to keep in mind that success is by no means guaranteed.
