Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips and Predictions 

Rayo are in good form and are unbeaten in 6 matches coming into this one. They fought back well to draw 2-2 against Sevilla last weekend and have moved up to 14th place, 4 points clear of the relegation zone thanks to their recent results. They’ve not won any of their last 12 on the road though but have picked up draws in all of their last 3 matches away from Vallecas.

Real Betis are 2 points and 2 places better off after successfully turning around their poor form. They are unbeaten in 3 thanks to a win over Valencia and draws against Deportivo and Sporting Gijon. The winner here would feel really confident about their chances of beating the drop but a draw wouldn’t be a complete disaster for either side.

Reason for Betting Tips

Real Betis have won just twice at home in the league this season and have been much more effective on the road overall. They have been drawing rather than winning games of late and have only won 1 of their last 15 matches in all competitions. Rayo have only lost once in 2016 in the league so will certainly feel confident about their chances of getting a result here and backing Rayo Vallecano Double Chance at 7/10 looks a fairly safe bet in this one.
