Rayo Vallecano vs Elche Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano beat Valencia in their last home game
• Elche’s last three defeats have all contained three or more goals
• There have been three or more goals in Rayo Vallecano’s last three outings

Rayo Vallecano searching for consistency

It’s not been the best of starts to the La Liga season for Rayo Vallecano, who have won twice in six outings, but already conceded eight goals.

Indeed, their last three fixtures have all contained three or more goals, and after shut outs in their opening two matches, they have failed to keep a clean sheet.

They did win their last home game though, beating Valencia 2-1, the same margin of victory they achieved here against Elche last season.

Elche finding life tough

Four successive defeats tells its own story for Elche, who sit bottom of the La Liga table with just one point from their opening half a dozen games.

Francisco’s side have already conceded 16 times, giving them the worst defence in the division, with four of their matches containing three or more goals.

Their away record is equally as shocking, losing 3-0, 4-0 and 3-0 on the road so far this season, meaning they have lost eight of their last ten on their travels.

I predict that there will be three or more goals in this game, with Rayo Vallecano coming out on top courtesy of a 2-1 victory.
