Prediction published on 09/04/2022, 08:59  by Indran in LaLiga Predictions

Rayo Vallecano plays host to Valencia at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in this La Liga match. The home team are in 13th position with 33 points while the visitors are in 9th position with 41 points. Rayo Vallecano are going through a nightmare run of eleven league matches without a win and across all competitions they are 13 matches without a win. This is their longest win drought in the league since June 2003.They have lost four of their last six home matches with two draws. Rayo Vallecano will be buoyed by the fact that they have only lost just one of their last six matches against Valencia which has been a major improvement on them losing seven of the previous nine against them. They have not lost in their last four home matches against Valencia.

Valencia come into this match in great form as they are unbeaten in their last five league matches. They did however have a disappointing goalless draw at home in their last match against Cadiz. They have regained their form too late in the season to challenge for the European places as they are 10 points behind the sixth placed team Real Sociedad. A major problem for them this season is the defence as they have conceded 43 goals which is the worst defensive record in the top half of the table. They have however kept clean sheets in their last three matches and the last time they kept four consecutive clean sheets was in 2013.
