Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano
Spanish La Liga
Date: 30 January 2023, Monday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).

Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano will drop the curtain on Matchday No 19 in La Liga on Monday evening with the clash at Estadio de la Ceramica.

El Submarino Amarillo will enter the game in higher spirits after a thread of four wins and a draw in the last five league affairs.

They have continued the push for the top-four finish last Sunday with the narrow 1-0 victory over Girona.

It was a crazy finish at Estadio de la Ceramica as we had a missed penalty for Villarreal, a disallowed goal for Girona, and a scored penalty for Villarreal all in the stoppage time of the contest.

It is worth noting that Quique Setien’s men were the better team on the pitch and certainly deserved the three-pointer on the occasion.

Rayo Vallecano will enter this tie off the back of three defeats in the last four outings across competitions.

They have been struggling for goals of late, netting just two in the previous four games in all competitions.

The run involves the 2-0 Copa del Rey defeat at Sporting Gijon as well as the 0-2 home loss to Real Sociedad last Saturday.

Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano Head-to-head

• On top of form, Villarreal can also rely on the recent head to head history. This is especially valid for the home clashes as El Submarino Amarillo won eight of the last ten home outings against Rayo.
• Villarreal celebrated a demolishing 1-5 road win over Rayo Vallecano in the previous head to head encounter in May last year.
• Villarreal bagged at least two goals in each of the last five H2H meetings with Rayo Vallecano.

Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Villarreal allowed only 13 goals in 18 league matches so far in the season. They are now up against Rayo Vallecano who have been struggling with efficiency in the recent matches.

Home win to nil is the way to go at the odds of 2.62, while we will alternatively back Villarreal to win 1-0 as the correct score option at the 6.50 odds.
