Betting on Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano hopes to make it to the UEFA Conference League, even if it did not get the expected result in its last game. The team was defeated 3-1 by Real Betis,leaving it two points away from the qualifying position for the competition.
To make matters worse, the team has been inconsistent in recent weeks, alternating between wins and losses in its seven most recent matches.
At least at home, the team has a good record against this opponent, remaining undefeated in the three most recent meetings between the two, with two wins and a draw.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Stole Dimitrievski; Iván Balliu, Abdul Mumin, Alejandro Catena, Fran García; Santi Comesaña, Pathé Ciss; Isi Palazón, Óscar Trejo, Andrés Martín; Sergio Camello.
Betting on Espanyol
Espanyol is in a tough spot in the overall standings, occupying the second-to-last place. However, the team still has a chance to avoid relegation, it just needs to string together some positive results in these last few matches and hope that some other teams in this battle drop points.
This seems that is going to be a tough task for a team that has not been very efficient. In its recent matches, Espanyol has lost nine of its last 11 matches. Additionally, it has suffered six defeats in a row playing away.
The team’s most obvious problem has been its offense, which has conceded at least two goals in its last six away games.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Álvaro Fernández; Rubén Sánchez, César Montes, Sergi Gómez, Óscar Gil; Nicolás Melamed, Sergi Darder, Vinicius Souza, Denis Suárez; Javier Puado, Joselu.
JefeBet Prediction
Rayo Vallecano has won the last six matches against Espanyol in all competitions. This trend could work in its favor this Sunday to be able to stay in the hunt for a spot in the Conference League.
Although the victory is likely to go to the Madrid team, it could also be a high-scoring game, especially since the visiting squad has struggled playing away.
In addition, the Rayo team has been very consistent in offense, scoring two goals in each of the matches played at the Estadio de Vallecas.
Prediction: Over (RAY 2-1 ESP).
