Head-to-Head
A tense 0-0 draw was the score when these clubs last met three months ago at the Carlos Tartiere.
Key Players
- Jorge de Frutos leads the line well for Rayo with seven goals in 22 appearances.
- Oviedo’s top-scorer Federico Vinas has five in 20 games and a recent hot-streak of three goals in their last five games, which accounts for almost half of the total number of goals Oviedo have scored in the same five (7).
Betting Insights
- Rayo are the clear favorites at 1.68 in this fixture, while Oviedo are outsiders at 5.1.
- We believe the 'Under 2.5 goals' market at 1.7 makes the best value play for a few reasons.
- Neither side has been prolific in front of goal this season and Oviedo, who prefer to sit deep and counter-attack, will be happy to play into that.
- Oviedo’s away defense has been porous this term, conceding 26 goals in 12 away trips (2.17 per game).
- Rayo have been solid at the back at Vallecas where they average 1.00 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per game.
Prediction
- Rayo Vallecano should edge a close matchup with struggling Real Oviedo at Vallecas on Wednesday when two teams that like to press and counter-attack collide in LaLiga.
- Rayo will try to take the game to the opposition, but Oviedo can counter-attack if they stay compact and could well be good for a goal.
- Back the Under 2.5 goals market as the best-value outcome.
