Prediction published on 15/05/2024, 04:52  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Rayo Vallecano could take a big step towards confirming La Liga safety with a win over the already-relegated Granada on matchday #36. This match will be played at the Estadio de Vallecas in Madrid on Wednesday, with the hosts 16th with 35 points and the visitors 19th with 21 points. Vallecano start this round six points above the bottom, with three games to go, while the visitors are relegated. They need four points to confirm safety, which could be lower depending on Cadiz’s result in this match. Vallecano are coming off a 0-0 draw against Valencia, which halted a two-game losing streak. Those two losses remain their only reverses across seven league games, where they won two and drawn three. They have been a gritty side at home, avoiding defeat in five of their last six home league games, drawing three, and winning two.

Granada were thrashed 4-0 by Real Madrid, which followed a 3-0 loss to Sevilla. They are now relegated to the second division, but will look to play for pride and spoil Vallecano’s chances. Seven points in three games before the sequence of two losses suggests they are going to put up a tough fight. The worry, though, is their misfiring front line, which has failed to score in five of their last eight league games. Seven defeats over the last ten games are just an indicator of how things went downhill for the visitors. It gets worse on the road, where Granada haven’t won a single competitive match this season. They have lost 15 of the 18 competitive away games, drawing the other three. Scoring remains a problem on the road too, with Granada failing to score even one goal in seven of their last ten away league games.
