Real to win is naturally the most likely outcome, but the odds on X2 are super tasty in this Madrid derby, between extremely important UCL matches v Atletico. More below.
Rayo has never been an easy opponent to Real Madrid, take a look at last 6 matches:
After defeating Atlético Madrid 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday, Real Madrid will host Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Sunday before next week’s UCL quarterfinal second leg on the other side of the city. Under Íñigo Pérez, Rayo already proved to be a banana skin for Los Blancos earlier this season, holding them to a 3-3 draw in Vallecas. While there is a slight risk of slipping up again, Real must remain fully focused on the La Liga title race and find the right balance with squad rotation.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side is three points behind in the league standings, trailing Barcelona and Atlético. Last weekend, Real Madrid put in a dismal performance in the pouring rain at Benito Villamarín, suffering a well-deserved defeat to Real Betis. Their midweek showing in the Champions League wasn’t much better, but thanks to individual brilliance, they managed to grind out a hard-fought victory.
Team news - Real Madrid:
Fede Valverde, who played midweek despite not being fully fit, is unlikely to feature in Sunday’s lineup, as he is being saved for the crucial return leg against Atlético. Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, and Dani Ceballos remain sidelined with injuries, while Jude Bellingham has served his suspension.
Rayo Vallecano has failed to win in three consecutive matches, though the performances suggest this isn’t necessarily a cause for concern. Last weekend, they should have beaten Sevilla at home, generating an xG of roughly 2.5 goals, but they only managed to find the net once. Pérez’s squad has been defensively solid this season, conceding just about one goal per game.
Team news - Rayo:
Rayo’s chances of an upset are significantly weakened by injuries and Jorge De Frutos’ suspension. Key absentees include Isi Palazón, Raúl de Tomás, Sergio Camello, Abdul Mumin, and Jonathan Montiel, while Randy Nteka and Unai López are doubtful. This leaves much of the attacking burden on Álvaro García.
The biggest reasons for this pick are
A) the UCL fixture next week,
B The spirit of Rayo vs Real
C) the generous odds.
Good luck!

皇马获胜自然是最有可能的结果，但在这场马德里德比中，X2的*非常高，在非常重要的欧冠联赛对阵马竞之间。下面的更多。
雷奥从来都不是皇马的好对手，看看他最近的6场比赛吧：
周二，皇马在欧冠联赛中以2比1击败马德里竞技队后，将于周日在西甲主场迎战巴列卡诺队，下周的欧冠四分之一决赛次回合将在马德里另一边举行。在Íñigo passirez的带领下，本赛季早些时候，雷约已经证明了他是白衣军团的香蕉皮，帮助他们3-3战平了巴莱加斯。虽然有再次下滑的风险，皇马必须保持完全专注于西甲冠军的竞争，并在阵容轮换中找到适当的平衡。
安切洛蒂的球队在联赛积分榜上落后巴萨和亚特兰蒂斯三分。上周末，皇家马德里在倾盆大雨中在贝尼托Villamarín上演了一场令人沮丧的比赛，输给了皇家贝蒂斯。周中他们在欧冠联赛中的表现也好不到哪里去，但由于他们个人的出色表现，他们努力取得了一场来之不易的胜利。
球队新闻-皇马：
费德·巴尔韦德虽然没有完全康复，但他不太可能出现在周日的首发名单中，因为他将在对阵亚特兰蒂斯的关键回合中复出。达尼·卡瓦哈尔、Éder milit<e:1>和达尼·塞巴略斯仍然因伤缺阵，而裘德·贝灵汉已经停赛。
巴列卡诺已经连续三场比赛失败，尽管表现表明这并不一定是一个值得关注的问题。上周末，他们本应在主场击败塞维利亚，创造大约2.5个进球，但他们只进了一次球。pamerez的球队本赛季防守稳固，场均只丢一个球。
团队新闻- Rayo：
由于伤病和豪尔赫·德·弗鲁托斯的停赛，雷约的机会大大降低了。主要的缺阵球员包括伊西Palazón， Raúl德Tomás，塞尔吉奥·卡梅洛，阿卜杜勒·穆明和乔纳森·蒙蒂尔，而兰迪·恩特卡和乌奈López也不确定。这使得Álvaro García承担了大部分的攻击负担。
这次选择的最大原因是
A)下周的伦敦大学联赛；
B雷诺对皇马的精神
C)慷慨的*。
好运！
