Granada vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano started their season with a 2-0 win over Almeria
• Newly-promoted Granada have lost five of the last seven top-flight clashes between these two sides
• Rayo boss Francisco Rodriguez has won four of his seven career meetings with Granada

Granada search for first point

The hosts lost 3-1 to Atletico Madrid in their opener last week, meaning they head into Monday’s clash with Rayo hoping to get a point or three on the board. However, they haven’t won any of their last seven matches against Rayo in La Liga, losing five of those games.

Home advantage has done little for the hosts in this fixture, as they’ve won once across six games in head-to-head home clashes between the pair in La Liga. Rayo have won three visits in that run and after a good win last weekend, they’re worth backing for another victory.

Rayo good value for victory

Rayo won 2-0 at Almeria last weekend, seeing off a side that finished 17th last term. That bodes well for their visit to newly promoted opposition, especially as they started last term with a draw at Barcelona and a win at Espanyol.

Rayo Vallecano coach Francisco Rodriguez has lost just one of his seven games in all competitions against Granada, claiming four wins across those meetings. He can deliver another victory for his side this weekend and Rayo offer some great value at 2/1.
