On matchday 37 of La Liga, Celta Vigo will take on Rayo Vallecano in a proper battle for places in Europe. The ambition for seventh-placed Celta Vigo and eighth-placed Rayo is to stay in the top eight. Read on for our prediction for the match.
It isn’t always that a match between Rayo and Celta Vigo comes carrying the importance attached to this one. Celta Vigo, banking on a strong home form, will go into this one feeling like favorites.
With three wins in their last four matches, that assumption will be justified. They beat Real Sociedad 1-0 last time out for their third win in four matches.
As Celta Vigo seek their 12th home league win of the season, Rayo Vallecano will be determined to scuttle that. The visitors have managed just six wins on the road in La Liga this season.
However, they will be eyeing a league double over Celta, having beaten them 2-1 in January. Rayo will start this round four points behind their hosts, which further throws them at a disadvantage, but they have a strong record coming here.
Were it not for their second-half capitulation, Rayo would be standing on three straight wins. They let a 2-0 lead slip and drew 2-2 with Real Betis.

Our Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
This match will go a long way in determining which team(s) fill up the remaining slots for Europe in La Liga. The reverse meeting did not have as much importance as Rayo beat Celta Vigo 2-1. We could borrow some aspects of that game for this coming one.
None of the teams head in as favorites, but given the stakes, we can expect an entertaining, end-to-end encounter. That should yield goals on either end. Our prediction for Celta Vigo v. Rayo Vallecano is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
