It has been a successful season on the whole for Athletic Club this term following their Copa Del Rey success. However, they will be hoping to end their campaign on a positive note when they come up against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
Athletic Club have enjoyed a fine season in Spain this term, which was exemplified following their success in the Copa Del Rey. However, that domestic cup success impacted their league form throughout the second half of the season, meaning that they have fallen off the pace in the race for a Champions League finish in the standings.
Bilbao are set to finish fifth in the table this term, as they are currently eight points behind Atletico Madrid, but five point clear of Real Sociedad. Their form has been patchy to say the least over recent weeks, as they have recorded just one win across their last three, and they have suffered two defeats in their previous five.
Rayo Vallecano will also be quietly happy with their season in Spain this term, as they have assured their status in the top-flight. However, they have achieved that by the narrowest of margins, as they currently sit just five points clear of the drop zone. Vallecano have won just eight times this term, and they boast one of the worst attacking records after netting just 29 times.
They come into this final round of matches after losing three of their last five matches, while only one victory has been achieved over that period. But, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief ahead of this final match of the season due to having no need to claim maximum points to assure their top-flight status.
Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Club Head to Head
Bilbao has a very strong record in this fixture after going four without defeat against Vallecano, and claiming three victories over that period. Their most recent success was a 4-0 victory in the reverse clash this term. Vallecano’s latest win against Bilbao was achieved in September 2021.
Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Club Prediction
Vallecano have recorded just one win in their last ten league matches against Bilbao. Therefore, it could be worth siding with the visiting team ending their productive campaign on a high note by claiming a victory on the road against Vallecano.
