Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Preview and Team News

Rayo Vallecano Team News

Rayo grabbed their second consecutive 1-0 victory, beating Las Palmas on the road. Alvaro Garcia, the club’s top goalscorer, latched on to a superb pass inside the box and left the goalkeeper helpless.

The win keeps Rayo in the race for European competitions. Currently placed eighth, they are only two points behind Celta, who occupy the seventh position in the standings. 

Isi Palazon was booked in the last match, and he will be suspended against Betis. As for other absentees, we can mention Jonathan Montiel, Abdul Mumin and Randy Nteka. Raul de Tomas was on the bench for several matches, but his participation is still questionable.

Rayo Vallecano predicted lineup vs Real Betis: (4-2-3-1): Batalla; Chavarria, Hernandez, Lejeune, Balliu; Ciss, Valentin; Garcia, Diaz, Ratiu; Embarba.

Real Betis Team News

Betis were held to a 1-1 draw against Osasuna. However, this result was perhaps expected, given that Manuel Pellegrini’s men played 120 minutes in the Conference League against Fiorentina.

While Betis are guaranteed to play in the Europa League, they will push even further and try to enter the top-five zone which could see them qualify for the Champions League. Currently, the gap is only three points with Villareal, but Betis have a tough schedule ahead.

Ahead of the fixture, Betis are dealing with several injury worries. Chimy Avila, Hector Bellerin, Diego Llorente and Marc Roca are out. The head coach rested some players against Osasuna, so we expect them to feature in the starting lineup.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Prediction 

• Pick: Betis or Draw
• Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Real Betis

Rayo Vallecano have bounced back after a series of four winless matches. They are fighting for the European tournaments, but still lack the depth in the squad, which could become a problem in the last games of the season.

Betis, on the other hand, are in much better form. They have reached the Conference League final and can temporarily focus on LaLiga. Moreover, in the last 14 H2H games, Betis lost only once against Rayo.

I expect a tense match, where both sides will receive their chances, but the visitors should be able to grab at least a point here. Therefore, I suggest picking the following option – Betis or draw. 

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.77 (22Bet)

In the previous three H2H encounters, we saw fewer than three goals scored between these two sides. Rayo are generally one of the worst sides in LaLiga in terms of goals, with 37 scored so far. However, they also have an organized defence.

Betis are far better than Rayo in the offence, but on the road, I think it will be difficult to create a lot of chances. It seems more likely to anticipate a closed game with a lot of fouls and the action taking place in the midfield.

The game will likely be less entertaining and a low-scoring affair is expected. Therefore, we would recommend picking under 2.5 goals.
