Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna Predictions

• Rayo won three of their final six home games last term.
• Rayo won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season.
• Osasuna lost 4-0 at Girona in their only away game so far this season.

Home comforts for Rayo

It has been a tough start to the season for Rayo Vallecano but they have played three of their four games away from home, and the visit of Osasuna looks a winnable assignment for Iñigo Pérez’s troops.

Rayo have four points on the board after as many games, while Osasuna have seven to show for their efforts but they have had three home games and just one away.

The visitors lost 4-0 at Girona in their only trip so far, and lost nine of their 19 away games last term.

Rayo impressed in defeat in their only home fixture so far as they opened up a 1-0 lead against Barcelona, but couldn’t hold on as they went down 2-1. They should enjoy a bit more success against Osasuna, who they beat towards the end of last season at this venue, so backing the hosts looks the best bet here.

Rayo have conceded in three of their four games this season and in each of their last five home games. As such, Osasuna may be able to get on the scoresheet and a 2-1 home win is the correct score prediction.
