Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano have lost just one of their seven home fixtures
• Three of Real Betis’ seven away matches have ended in defeat
• Vallecano are unbeaten in their last seven La Liga outings

Vallecano looking to overtake Betis

Rayo Vallecano head into this game not only looking to extend their seven game unbeaten run in La Liga, but also knowing a fourth victory in eight league fixtures would see them jump above Real Betis in the table.

The only thing really holding back Andoni Iraola’s side this season is the fact they have drawn too many games, including two of their last four at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas.

Both those fixtures have ended 0-0, but they also have not lost at home since their first game of the season there, picking up four wins in the half a dozen matches since.

Betis need to improve on the road

Real Betis on the other hand seem to be struggling on the road this season, managing just two wins from seven attempts, losing three times in the process.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side are still right up among the European places, although worryingly only one of their last six La Liga outings has ended in victory.

This therefore seems like a crucial game for them, especially after a 0-0 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao in their first game since the World Cup.

I predict Rayo Vallecano double chance in this game for insurance, with 2-1 to Vallecano my correct score prediction.
