Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Six of Celta Vigo’s last ten home league fixtures have seen fewer than three goals
• Only two of Rayo Vallecano’s last eleven games have contained three or more goals
• Vallecano have only won once on the road in La Liga

Vigo to get a rare home win?

Celta Vigo’s home form this season has been far from rock solid, picking up just three wins in eleven games, but they have made themselves hard to beat.

Six of those games have contained fewer than three goals, while they have only lost one of the last five, beating Espanyol and Osasuna in successive games.

This looks like a perfect opportunity to pick up another three points against a side who are poor on the road, but that may require keeping just a third clean sheet of the campaign at Balaidos.

Valecano shocking on the road

Rayo Vallecano have picked up 31 points this season, of which only five have come away from home, where they have lost seven times in ten games.

Andoni Iraola‘s side have failed to score in their last two league clashes on the road, at Villarreal and Real Madrid, with only three of their last nine containing three or more goals.

They have in fact fired blanks six times in away matches, netting just seven times in total.

I predict there will be under three goals in this match, as neither team has shown much fluency in the final third, and Celta Vigo could even nick it, so I select 1-0 to the hosts as a correct score prediction.
