Rayo Vallecano vs Cádiz Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Two desperate teams looking to end their recent dire record will be on display as Rayo Vallecano host Cadiz this weekend. This La Liga lower-half battle will be played at the Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday. The hosts are 14th in the standings after 26 rounds with 25 points, while the visitors are in the relegation zone with 18 points and 18th position. Vallecano were thrashed 3-0 by Girona in their last league game, extending what has been a poor recent run. They are without a win in eight games now, losing six and drawing two. This run has pulled them down the table, and they are just seven points over the bottom three before this round. That gap may evaporate if they don’t improve their form, especially at home.

Vallecano are without a win at this venue in ten league games, although six draws in that sequence suggest they can be a menace. Cadiz is three points behind safe places, which is already looking like a tough ask. They are coming off a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo, which was a creditable eighth draw across their last 13 matches. Yet, it shouldn’t mask the fact that the visitors have been without a win since mid-September for 22 league games now. Half of those ended in a draw, so it’s not always been gloomy, but with relegation looking like a distinct possibility, they need to pick up wins. Unfortunately, their record against Rayo doesn’t augur well, as Cadiz have lost three and drawn one of their five top-flight away games against them.
