Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Predictions

• Rayo have scored in 15 of their last 17 home matches
• Betis have seen BTTS land in 12 of their last 12 games
• The visitors have kept one away clean sheet in La Liga since September
• Rayo have conceded in all 11 clashes with sides above them in the table

Key clash for Euro hopefuls

Real Betis have already secured a place in the Conference League final, but their focus for now is on jumping into the top five in La Liga and making a Champions League return. The visitors head to eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano on Thursday, with the hosts in possession of Spain’s final European place.

Betis are safely inside the top six, but they need a strong finish to overhaul Villarreal in fifth, who are three points ahead with three rounds remaining.

Betis are dealing with a busy run of fixtures, while they make this trip with a questionable defensive record. Both teams have scored in all but one of their last 12 fixtures across all competitions, while they’ve managed one La Liga clean sheet away from home since September.

Rayo have won their previous two games 1-0 to hold on to their European place, but they’ve struggled to match the sides above them this season. The hosts have conceded in all 11 clashes with the top seven, while five of their six home games against those teams have seen both teams find the net.

Rayo have scored in 15 of their last 17 home games, so both teams to score stands out given their strong records in front of goal.
