LiontipsUnionistas vs Rayo Vallecano. Spanish Cup match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
"Unionistas" managed to get into the Spanish Cup quite recently, but they didn't manage to get very far. In the current championship, the representatives of Castile left no chance for amateur "Utebo" - by the 45th minute, the "black and whites" howled in a 4:0 score, which they managed to maintain until the last minutes and got a ticket to such a high round by the team standards. It is noteworthy that Rabadan scored a hat-trick against the opponent in just 29 minutes. After 15 rounds of the current season of the fourth division, Raul charges have 21 points and are in ninth place in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Idumbo will not be able to take to the football field today (ankle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Unionistas have scored at home in their last 15 competitive matches in a row
- Unionistas have not lost in their last ten matches in a row in all competitions
Tentative line-up: Fernandez - Sanchez, Nianzou, Martinez, Pedrosa - Bueno, Carmona, Sow - Lukebakio, Romero.
Current form
Several divisions ahead of their hosts, Rayo Vallecano head here having lost as many games in their previous three league outings as they had in their first nine games. This recent fluctuation has left the away side worse off in terms of points than they have been at the same stage in each of their three La Liga seasons, perhaps heightening early fears of relegation. They were beaten by Athletic Bilbao in the final round, their third defeat in a row. In the Copa del Rey, the Giants were comfortably thrashed by Villamurell (5-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Espino will not be able to take part in the fight today (foot injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Rayo Vallecano have scored 92 per cent of their goals from set pieces this season, a league record
Probable line-up: Cardenas - Lejeune, Ratiu, Mumin, Chevaria - Ciss, Lopez, Embarba, Trejo - Nteko.

1.88Tip and bets
In this match, no one expects an abundance of attacks and scoring chances - both clubs traditionally score very little, while the potential of the opponents is clearly not revealed even half. Nevertheless, this is a cup match, and the hosts of the match will definitely throw all their forces into defense. The capital club has more classy players in its squad, but it is unlikely that they will have the desire and opportunity to win with a big difference in the score. We expect that everything will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Our forecast is total under 2.5 goals and we bet on it with odds of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
We believe that today "Unionistas" will be able to impose a fight on the guests, but it is unlikely that we will see an abundance of attacks. "Giants" will most likely take full control of the ball from the first minutes, will be able to impose their football and prove that it is not for nothing that they have occupied their place in Primera for several years. Most likely, today "black and white" will be able to show their best football, but it is unlikely that they will resist the experience and class of the team from La Liga.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Rayo Vallecano and we bet on it with odds of 2.55
Yellow Card Betting
This fight will most likely not be an exception and may lead to a lot of violations, some of which may be severely condemned by the referee. Moreover, in two of the last four fights, the referee did not show less than four yellow cards.
Forecast - total yellow cards over four. This option can be found for 1.83
