Leganes vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

Lega’s need to chase sets up an open clash at Butarque

This season’s stats may not point towards a high scoring game when Leganes lock horns with Rayo Vallecano again on Sunday, but we think there will be plenty of action at Butarque as the hosts aim to get back into the tie after a 3-0 first leg defeat in midweek.

Lega were destroyed late in the piece on Thursday as a brace from Bebe sealed an emphatic victory for Los Franjirrojos and Rayo are as short as 1/33 to see the job through against their fellow Madrilenians at the weekend.

Over 2.5 goals have been netted in just seven of Lega’s 21 home fixtures this term and in just seven of the visitors’ 21 starts on the road, though that’s our fancy here with Los Pepineros set to chase the game from the off.

Lega’s need to gamble and go forward should really stretch the contest and odds of around 7/5 for three or more goals to be bagged looks great value.

Rayo Vallecano are hard to oppose after their first leg exploits and four wins from their last five overall, however, we’re marginally favouring the hosts in the correct score market based on their fine home record this term (W15, D3, L3).

The priority for the visitors is hanging on to progress as opposed to winning on the night, so we’re forecasting a 3-2 victory for Lega, which will ultimately see them come up well short on aggregate.
