Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 20/04/2024, 02:07  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Rayo Vallecano welcome Osasuna on Sunday with the hope of moving farther from the relegation zone. The La Liga matchday 32 fixture at the Estadio de Vallecas in Madrid will see the hosts 16th with 31 points and the visitors 11th with 39 points. Vallecano start this round six points above the bottom-three, and although there’s no imminent danger, the threat of relegation is still lurking around. They had consecutive 0-0 draws with Celta Vigo and Getafe, missing a chance to move away from the red zone. The indifference is understandable, as the hosts have won only twice in 13 league matches in this calendar year. One of those wins came at this venue, but otherwise, Celta have eight draws and a win from their last 13 home matches in the league.

Osasuna are in a place where they can’t gain much and can’t be dragged into the relegation zone. Perhaps that explains the run of three defeats across their last four matches. They are coming off a 1-0 loss to Valencia and hope they can bring some fight to their game. Osasuna needed a late stoppage time penalty to win the reverse fixture and will hope to ride on their recent away form to improve their recent record. Osasuna have won two and drawn one of their last four league trips, with the defeat coming at top-three hopeful Girona. With their last away league match ending in a 3-0 win against Almeria, there’s an incentive for the visitors to continue winning, as they haven’t won consecutive away matches since matchday three.
