LiontipsAthletic - Rayo Vallecano: betting tip (cf 3.35) and bets on the Spanish Championship match (August 25, 2025) from UPU
Command Analysis
Current form
Athletic clearly relied on a ticket to the Champions League last season – the selection of players made it possible for the Basques to set themselves such a task, even though the competition for a place in the top five was off the charts. Already in the first round, the red and white showed enviable stability and gained a foothold on the fourth line, having managed to gain a decent lead over the pursuers in half the season.
Despite the fact that Athletic did not even claim the third place, it was not difficult to keep the fourth place, even considering the struggle on two fronts. It was only at the finish line that Villarreal managed to put pressure on the Basques, but then the fifth place allowed them to get into the Champions League, so the red and white would not have lost much, but they still defended fourth place.
In the summer, Athletic retained Niko Williams and thus is once again able to set itself the task of competing for a ticket to the Champions League, while retaining its main star. In the first round, the red and white took on Sevilla (3:2) and were considered the undisputed favorites of the match - having a two–goal advantage by the 60th minute, the Basques almost lost points, but scored the winning goal in the end.

Bet on the total
Athletic played attacking football in the test matches, and despite regular defeats, scored in every match and against any opponent. The red-and-whites also played openly against Sevilla, having shipped three goals against the Nervionians, the defense of Rayo Vallecano is clearly going to have big problems. However, at the same time, the bees are distinguished by excellent implementation, they score almost everything they create – the Athletic defense is not particularly reliable, the exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.09
The bet on the difference in the account
Athletic will certainly strive to secure a second victory in a row and gain a foothold in the leading group – Basques are traditionally very strong at home and have superiority over their rivals in the class.

The bet is a one–goal Athletic victory. This bet is offered for 3.35
