Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Both these teams have their struggles defensively, with both teams netting in four of Espanyol’s last five games and four of Rayo Vallecano’s last six, which also highlights they are pretty strong at the other end of the field

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Both these teams have found winning tough of late and both drew on the opening day of the season. Rayo Vallecano meanwhile won just twice in their final 15 away league fixtures in 2021/22, while Espanyol are on a run of four draws in eight at home

Espanyol vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

  • Both teams have scored in four of Espanyol’s last five games
  • Four of Rayo Vallecano’s last six La Liga matches have seen both teams net
  • Rayo Vallecano are on a run of just two wins in their last 16 away league games

Can Espanyol get that first win?

A last gasp penalty from Joselu earned Espanyol a 2-2 draw as they came from 2-0 down against Celta Vigo on the opening day of the campaign.

Stretching back to last season, that was the fourth time in five La Liga outings that both teams have scored, while they have lost just one of their last eight home league matches.

This is just a second game in charge for manager Diego Martínez though, and both teams also netted in six of his last eight matches as Granada boss in 2021.

Rayo Vallecano need to end shocking away record

Rayo Vallecano have only won two of their last 16 away league games, but one of those actually came here last season when they picked up a 1-0 victory.

Andoni Iraola’s side also drew on the opening day, 0-0 against Barcelona, the first time in four games both teams have not netted in one of their fixtures.

Eight of their nineteen away matches last season also saw both teams score, with the average dropping towards the end of the campaign when they kept a handful of clean sheets.

I expect both teams to score in this game, but it might be a struggle for either side to win, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
