Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips

Although he hasn’t won in La Liga, Neville does have 3 Copa del Rey victories to his name, the most recent of which came in midweek when Valencia won 3-0 at Granada to round off a convincing 7-0 aggregate victory.

However it is the league in which the Englishman will ultimately be judged and just 3 points from 5 games so far is nowhere near good enough although a home game with 19th placed Rayo Vallecano offers a good chance for a victory.

Rayo Vallecano are without a win in 9 matches now after their 3-0 defeat at city rivals Atletico Madrid in the cup in midweek. More worryingly they were beaten 2-1 by the only side below them in the league last weekend when they lost in this city at Levante.

They have conceded 27 goals in those 9 winless matches but did manage to score in all but 2 of them. Both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 league away games which includes trips to the Camp Nou and the Bernabeu as well as visits to Sevilla and Villarreal.

They also scored 4 times at the Mestalla in the Copa del Rey last season and given both teams have scored in all of the last 4 league matches at the Mestalla, we should see both teams score here and that can be backed at 8/11.

Valencia are desperately in need of a league win and there may be a few scares here but Rayo’s tendency to let in cheap goals suggests they may get it and you can back a 2-1 home win at 7/1.
