Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Predictions

• Celta have seen both teams score in four of their last five
• Rayo’s last five home games have seen both teams find the net
• Celta have conceded in 14 of their 15 league games this season

Back goals with both sides struggling

Celta Vigo head to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga’s Monday night clash chasing their first victory in 11 league games. Rafa Benitez’s return to Spain’s top flight hasn’t been ideal, with his Celta side sat 18th as we approach the half-way point of the campaign.

Celta come into the clash having improved in recent weeks, drawing three of their last four games in the league. Their defensive issues haven’t gone away, but the visitors are scoring goals and staying competitive. Four of their last five in all competitions have seen both teams score, with their attack delivering.

Jorgen Strand Larsen has made a real impact for Celta, with his five-goal haul this term outpacing his entire total for the previous campaign. The forward has scored in four of his last five games for club and country, while his tally of three goals on the road this term is more than any other Celta player has managed across the season.

Rayo come into this clash having seen both teams score in five straight home matches, while they’ve kept one clean sheet at home this term. With Celta conceding in 14 of their 15 games this term, back both defences to struggle, with both teams to score the best option.
