Betting Insights
- Both Teams to Score, priced at 2.05, looks a bit of a steal in this match-up with Rayo’s pressing game against Betis’ possession style of football setting up a good battle in the middle of the pitch and plenty of tactical fireworks at either end.
- The odds of 2.62 about the home side being the more likely winner here seem a little on the low side and the visitors are also too big at 2.85 with a draw at 3.54 also not far off where we think it should be.
Prediction
- Betis have the better away record, more attacking talent and better overall form but Vallecano are a tough, high-energy side on their home turf, so we anticipate a close game.
- Two of the last three head-to-head matches have finished all square, including a 2-2 thriller in Madrid last season, so the draw could be the best play in this fixture which has a long history of close and competitive games.
