Rayo Vallecano vs Malaga Betting Tips

The main reason for that is Malaga’s awful away record. They haven’t scored a single goal in 7 away games in the league so far this season and have only picked up 2 points on their travels.

Last time out they had a golden opportunity to end their miserable run on the road when Athletic Bilbao were reduced to 10 men in only the 19th minute at San Mames with the game goalless. However Malaga failed to make their one man advantage pay and had to settle for a 0-0 draw. It do however at least move them outside the drop-zone on goal difference and they are only 1 place below Sunday’s opponents Rayo Vallecano.

This match pairs the league’s joint worst defence with its least potent attack. Malaga have netted just 7 goals in 14 matches this season, with all them coming at home while Rayo Vallecano have conceded 25 times.

However Rayo have been quite strong in Vallecas. They’ve won 4 of their last 6 home games and they were very unlucky to suffer defeat last time out away to Villarreal.

With Malaga so poor on the road, they’ll definitely be eyeing up 3 points here and at 13/10 they are good value to get them.

Rayo might not be known for keeping clean sheets but 3 of their 5 wins this season have been to nil and they were 2-0 winners in their last home game against Getafe in the Copa del Rey. At 10/1 you can back a repeat scoreline here and a continuation of Malaga’s miserable travels.
