Real Betis will be back in front of their home fans this weekend, as they chase a second victory of the season. However, Rayo Vallecano should come into this fixture in excellent form after winning two of their opening three matches.
La Liga Preview
It has been a fine start to the new season for Rayo Vallecano, as they have won two of their opening three matches. However, there will be pressure on the visitors this weekend to bounce back after they were handed a first loss of the new season in their most recent fixture. Despite that defeat, they remain eighth in the standings.
A huge performance will be expected by Vallecano this weekend, as they were ruthlessly swatted aside by Atletico Madrid on Monday evening in front of their home fans. The visitors this weekend allowed seven goals against the Spanish giants, with three being netted inside the opening 36 minutes. Vallecano were poor defensively throughout that fixture, and they could have easily lost by a double-digit scoreline.
Real Betis started the new season in fine form, as they opened their campaign with a strong victory on matchday one. However, they haven’t been able to maintain those excellent performance levels in their two following matches, as they have been held to a draw and beaten over the last two weeks.
Betis will also be looking for a response this weekend, as they suffered a big defeat on matchday three at the hands of Athletic Bilbao. The hosts this weekend allowed four goals in that defeat, despite racing into a 2-0 lead inside the opening ten minutes. Betis dominated the possession, but they never looked dangerous after falling 3-2 behind on the stroke of half time.
Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Head to Head
Betis boast a fine recent record in this fixture in La Liga matches, as they are unbeaten in their last eight. Over that period, they have recorded five wins, which includes victories in each of the last two. They were 3-1 winners in this exact fixture in May.
Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Vallecano will need to address their defensive issues following a heavy loss at the hands of Atletico Madrid. However, we have confidence that they will be able to bounce back to winning ways on Saturday, and a chance will be taken on them to secure a rare victory on the road against Betis.
