THE PREDICTION

Rayo Vallecano’s home form has been ridiculous. They sit at the top of the home form table with eight wins and one draw in their opening nine matches. That form has seen them sitting up towards the European spots in La Liga. They, alongside Real Betis, are suffering from COVID-19 absentees and both suffered 2-0 defeats to kick off their 2022 last weekend with Rayo losing at Atleti and Celta defeating Betis in Seville. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have a similarly progressive and effective style to Andoni Iraola’s Rayo and, given the depleted squads, an entertaining game in which both teams score looks a good bet for this one.
