Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Rayo Vallecano have seen both teams score in three of their last four at home
• Both teams have netted in nine of Real Madrid’s last 11 outings
• Real have won seven times in nine away fixtures this season

Can Vallecano pick up another win?

Rayo Vallecano come into this game on the back of successive victories, but they have come against struggling Sevilla and Cadiz, and they know this match will be a test of a different level altogether.

Andoni Iraola’s side will have to tighten up their defence if they are to pull off a shock win, as they have only kept two clean sheets in their last ten fixtures.

Indeed, both teams have scored in three of their last four at home, as they have in half of the most recent ten meetings between these two sides.

Real hoping for a return to form

A 1-1 draw against Girona last weekend, that following on from a 3-2 defeat to RB Leipzig in the Champions League, suggested Real Madrid were on a little bit of a rocky run.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side dispelled all suggestions of a lengthy period without a win though as they hammered Celtic 5-1 in midweek, the ninth time in 11 outings that both teams have scored.

They have been relentless on the road this season too, winning all six of their away La Liga matches, four of which have seen both team score.

I predict Real Madrid will win this game with both teams scoring, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
