Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano have drawn seven games in La Liga this season
• Only two points separate these clubs in the La Liga standings
• Celta Vigo have lost just one of their last five matches in all competitions

Draw specialists set for another stalemate

Rayo Vallecano rounded out 2024 with three successive draws in La Liga and the stalemate could be the best bet when they take on fellow mid-table outfit Celta Vigo.

Vallecano have held Real Madrid, Villareal and Real Betis to draws in each of their last three league games before winning their first match of 2025 against Racing Ferrol 3-1 in the Copa del Rey.

Indeed, Vallecano have been among La Liga’s draw specialists this season with seven stalemates racked up in 18 matches.

And another one could be on the cards when they face a Celta Vigo side who are just one place and two points above them in the La Liga standings.

Vigo set for another close encounter

Draws have not been as common for Vigo but two of their last three matches have been settled by single-goal margins and this could also be a tight encounter.

They shared the spoils with both Real Betis and Barcelona in December and the draw looks overpriced in this contest.

As for a correct score pick, 1-1 looks like a decent approach, having been the score in each of Rayo Vallecano’s last two league fixtures.
