Rayo Vallecano

LLDLWW 🌤

Rayo Vallecano, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 La Liga success vs UD Las Palmas.

Rayo Vallecano have really been misfiring of late. Their goals record stands at just 4 versus opposition teams during their previous six matches.

• have not lost a league tie with Real Betis in their last 2 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.

🗞️ Team News: Rayo Vallecano

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Rayo Vallecano boss Iñigo Pérez to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Abdul Mumin (Knee injury) will miss out.

In all likelihood, Franjirrojos should use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Augusto Batalla, Andrei Florin Rațiu, Florian Lejeune, Aridane Hernández, Pep Chavarría, Óscar Valentín, Unai López Cabrera, Ivan Balliu, Pedro Díaz Fanjul, Á. García Rivera and Adrián Embarba.

🗞️ Team News: Real Betis

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has a number of players out of action. Marc Roca (Foot injury) and Diego Llorente (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.

We believe Béticos could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Adrian, Youssouf Sabaly, Marc Bartra, Natan Souza, Romain Perraud, Jesús Rodriguez, Sergi Altimira, A. Matheus dos, Isco, Giovani Lo Celso and Cucho Hernández.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano won’t have much between them here, and goals could be hard to come by.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. We’re therefore seeing a very close game with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of this game.
