Rayo Vallecano vs Espanyol Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano have the best home record in the division this season with six wins from seven games
• Espanyol are on a run of 16 away La Liga games without a victory
• Vallecano have kept clean sheets in two of their last three home matches

Rayo Vallecano Stunning At Home

Rayo Vallecano’s record on home soil this season is remarkable; played 7, won 6, drawn 1. They have already racked up 16 goals, while the three they have conceded at the other end is bettered only by Real Sociedad.

Andoni Iraola’s side sit in sixth place in the table, four points outside the Champions League places, and they have the perfect opportunity to close that gap in this game.

Vallecano have beaten Barcelona, Granada and Getafe without conceding this season, while they have scored three or more goals on four occasions.

Away Day Blues For Espanyol

Espanyol’s away form could not be more different to what Vallecano have achieved at home. They are yet to win, picking up just three points from seven games.

They only returned to La Liga in the summer and have already failed to score in four matches on the road, losing two of the three games they have played against teams above them in the table.

Vincente Moreno’s side are up against it in this one and it is difficult to see any result other than a Rayo Vallecano win, which I predict they will do comfortably by a 3-0 scoreline.
