Command Analysis

Rayo Vallecano

Current form

Rayo Vallecano will be looking to get back to winning ways against Alaves after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Mallorca last weekend ended their five-game unbeaten run in the league. They will need to be careful as they have now lost two games in a row in La Liga three times since the end of April, so they have a tendency to lose games in pairs. Head coach Inigo Perez blamed himself for the Mallorca defeat, saying: “I couldn’t make them see some individual nuances, that’s my fault.” Expect him to try and put things right as Rayo Vallecano look to extend their home unbeaten run in the league to four games in a row.

Disqualifications and injuries

Out of the game are Espino (injury) and Mendes (injury).

Interesting trends for betting

Only Real Madrid have conceded fewer first-half goals (1) than Rayo Vallecano (2) in La Liga this season
Rayo Isi Palazon scored the last time these sides met here and four of his last five league goals, including this one, have come before half-time.

Probable line-up : Cardenas - Lejeune, Ratiu, Mumin, Chevaria - Ciss, Lopez, Embarba, Trejo - Nteko.

Deportivo Alaves

Current form

Alaves won 1-0 the last time these sides met and another success could be on the agenda given the perfect top-flight record between the sides. The Glorious Ones let fans down in their last game, suffering a 3-2 defeat at Valladolid, leading boss Luis Garcia to say his side “need to improve a lot defensively”. Sitting 14th but just two points above the bottom three, the visitors also need to dramatically improve their away form if they are to avoid a relegation battle, having lost five of their last seven away games.

Disqualifications and injuries

Sedlar (muscle injury), Novoa Ramos (abdominal injury), Abkar (yellow cards) and Garcia (red card) will not be able to take to the pitch today.

Interesting trends for betting

Alaves' Quique Garcia scored in injury time last time but each of his three goals this season have ended in defeat for his side
Alaves are now on a four-game losing streak in La Liga - their longest top-flight losing streak since April 2022.

Probable lineup : Sivera - Ortiz, Villaribre, Pica, Jay - Guevara, Blanco, Benavides, Romero, Rioja - Celia.

Tip and bets

Tipboth will score

2.21

Meetings of rivals rarely please with an abundance of attacks and scoring chances - both rivals have serious problems in defense, which will be given more attention today. Nevertheless, we believe that there will be goals - the rivals are approximately equal in strength and desire to cling to any tournament points, which will give a chance for a minimal exchange of goals scored. In addition, in two of the last three matches of the hosts, both teams scored.

Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 2.21
