Vallecano are the second most in form team in La liga
Vallecano have score 2 in their last 3 home matches
Comfortable win expected for Los Franjirrojos
Rayo Vallecano face a struggling Valladolid side this Friday evening. The visitors sit bottom of La Liga, and their dismal away record—losing ten of their eleven matches on the road—has only worsened their situation. In contrast, Rayo are flying high in 6th place and pushing for a European spot next season. Their recent form has been key to this surge, as they sit 2nd in the form table over the last five matches, a run that includes an impressive draw against league leaders Real Madrid.
A home win is expected, but at a general price of 1/4, backing them outright holds little appeal. However, there’s value in backing Rayo to win and over 1.5 goals. They’ve been in fine form in front of goal, scoring at least twice in each of their last three home games, and they should extend that streak against a Valladolid side that has conceded the most goals in La Liga.
Rayo rarely score more than two in a game, and while Valladolid are coming off a 5-1 loss, they rarely let games get our of hand. Rayo should dominate this game from the off, and do enough to seem themselves pick up three points with a comfy 2-0 win. With a tough away game against Barcelona next time out, manager Inigo Perez may opt to make some substitutions when the game looks to be won.
