Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions
Villarreal will be keen to arrest their slip down the La Liga standings when they take on Rayo Vallecano. These two sides will face off on Wednesday, in a clash hosted by Villarreal. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Villarreal are winless in their last five matches, losing the last three. Their 2-1 loss to Real Betis last time out wasn’t a shock as they’ve had a shaky run in recent times.
Disappointingly, they lost to a side that had a player sent off just after the half hour mark. The major trouble for the team has been in defence; they conceded twice in all four matches.
Rayo Vallecano aren’t the best defensive side either, but they will put a big premium on their recent form. The visitors are unbeaten in the last three matches, winning two.
In their last outing, they threw away a 2-0 lead, and in the end drew 3-3 with Real Madrid. The point earned nudged them to 13th with 20 points – six clear of the relegation zone.
In this first of three back-to-back away matches, will hope to recover from two winless outings against Villarreal. They failed to score just once in the last seven but also kept just one clean sheet in six matches.
