Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 06/11/2022, 01:54  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Prediction

It has been a shaky period on the pitch for Real Madrid and they will want to stabilize when they head to Rayo Vallecano for their next La Liga game. This match finds Real Madrid displaced at the top by Barcelona, who played earlier but the champions can go back on top with a win. Hosts Rayo are ninth with 18 points ahead of this game and Real Madrid are second with 32 points. Rayo are on a steady rise, and have gone undefeated in their last four matches, among them away clashes at Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. They are coming from two straight wins, the most recent a 1-0 victory over Sevilla. They’ve however managed just two clean sheets in their last five matches. Three wins in four home matches will be a source of inspiration for Rayo and having scored two or more in the three wins should come with a lot of confidence. However, they have just one clean sheet in five home games. They will be without the suspended Randy Nteka for this game.

Real Madrid have one win in their last three matches, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches. They come into this game on the back of a big win over Celtic in the Champions League, but the goal conceded in the 5-1 victory leaves questions over their defensive capabilities. Real Madrid have conceded six times in the last four matches, though they have three wins in the last five games. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both sides have scored in four. They are still unbeaten in La Liga but struggled in their last league game, drawing 1-1 at home to Girona, in a game that also saw Toni Kroos sent off. Real Madrid will definitely be the favorites here despite their struggles, and will also be banking on a good away run in La Liga; they have six straight wins in their away matches in the league.
