by Kennedy Kechula | in Conference League Predictions
Rayo Vallecano took a stride ahead of Strasbourg in the two teams’ quest for a first-ever final in a European competition. They are set to face off in the return leg of the Conference League semis, with Spanish side Rayo holding a slim 1-0 lead. This match will be hosted in France, at Strasbourg’s Stade de la Meinau. Predictions show this could go either way, but Strasbourg haven’t lost at home in Europe this season.
The hosts overturned a 2-0 defeat in the quarter-finals with a 4-0 home win, and based on that, this should be an easier outing. Rayo are making their first trip to France for a competitive game since 2000/01.
They almost squandered a first-leg 3-0 lead in the quarterfinals only for Isi Palazon’s key strike against AEK Athens to hand them a 4-3 aggregate win. This is a season-defining contest, and both managers highlighted that aspect by resting key men over the weekend as Strasbourg lost and Rayo won.

Strasbourg - Rayo Vallecano: Form Analysis
Strasbourg are enduring their worst run of form this season ahead of Rayo Vallecano’s visit. They were recently eliminated from the French Cup and are struggling in the top six race in Ligue 1. Ahead of this game, they lost 2-1 to Toulouse. In a feisty encounter in Madrid last week, Le Racing came out second best.
They collected five of the nine yellow cards shown and conceded 24 shots against their five. At the end of it, they were fortunate to have only lost 1-0. In the context of their performances in Europe, Strasbourg will be confident heading into this encounter. They haven’t lost at home in the Conference League this season (3W, 3D).
Rayo have lost two of six Conference League away matches.
Inclusive of the first-leg result in this tie, Rayo are coming off a four-match unbeaten run. They managed three wins in the process and will be keen on avoiding defeat here. Their slim win in the first doesn’t count for much if we are to look back at their quarter-final performance.
The Spaniards won 3-0 in the first leg but needed a goal more to beat AEK Athens 4-3 on aggregate. Facing a side that overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit in the quarters will call for a lot from Rayo. Los Franjirrojos’ form on the road will be telling here, as they’ve won three of six in the Conference League. Rayo are coming off a 2-0 win over Getafe in La Liga.

Strasbourg & Rayo Vallecano Squad Analysis
Both Strasbourg and Rayo are dealing with a number of absentees in this game. The biggest one for Strasbourg has to be Joaquin Panichelli, who has been ruled out for the season remainder with a knee injury. The forward will not be the only Argentine unavailable for this encounter. Aaron Anselmino will also miss with a knee injury, and the same reason is keeping Valentin Barco out.
Guela Doue is a doubt for the game after missing the first leg with illness. Facing 25 shots in the first leg and conceding just once means goalkeeper Mike Penders had a big impact. He has another big match ahead, with Strasbourg expected to attack more, leaving him exposed.
Strasbourg’s Martial Gogo has averaged 1.73 goal attempts per Conference League match.
Rayo skipper Isi Palazon will be a thorn to Strasbourg’s flesh in this encounter. The fact that he comes into this game well rested will bring out his best. The Spaniard missed the win over Gefate as he was suspended.
He provided the assist for the winner against Strasbourg in his last game as he put up a man-of-the-match performance. In the last three Conference League matches, the 31-year-old has had either a goal or assist. In total he has six goal involvements in this competition, having started eight of 11 matches.

Our Strasbourg vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Rayo Vallecano will have a major boost in this game with the return of skipper Isi Palazon who was suspended over the weekend. That just about elevates their chances of scoring in this game. However, the Spaniards are on a run of five away games in Europe without a clean sheet.
They have scored in each of those games, though, and we feel they will be able to counter Strasbourg’s threat. The home side scored in seven of the last 10 matches they hosted. Our prediction for Strasbourg v Rayo Vallecano is BTTS.
Strasbourg vs Rayo Vallecano Alternative Predictions
Draw
Strasbourg have managed just four wins in their last 10 matches at home. In the Conference League, they’ve drawn half of their home matches. Here they are coming off three straight home defeats but face a Rayo side on three losses in four away matches.
With such numbers and the stakes involved, this doesn’t look good for Strasbourg, as we are backing a draw in our second prediction.
