Match Predict – Rayo Vallecano Double Chance
Rayo Vallecano was on the fantastic form before the World Cup as they had the chance to stay unbeaten in their last 7 official games. In the first game back to the leagues, we expect them not to lose the game against Girona and stay in the mid-table.
Both teams to score – yes
Considering the statistics and the meetings both teams had previously in all Spanish competitions, out of the total 15 matches, 8 of the games have ended up with both teams scoring in the game as we expect the scenario to be repeated.
Total Goals Over 1.5
Numbers and statistics are the most important tools for predictive analysis. As mentioned above, in the previous 15 games, 80% of the games have ended up with at least 2 goals in the game(12/15). We are certain to watch at least two goals in the game.
Girona:
Girona players left La Liga with good form as they were unbeaten in their last 4 official games which includes a draw against Real Madrid. In their last Copa Del Rey game, they had the chance to win and qualify for the next round. Girona’s injury problems are still an issue for the team as they will face a very good Spanish team next in the league where they stand in 13th place after playing 14 games and collecting 16 points. In the 14 games, Girona conceded more than they scored ( 22, 20 ). Girona is eager to continue their good form and grab a draw against Vallecano.
Rayo Vallecano:
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano, before the world cup was actually one of the most in-form teams in the top 5 leagues. In their last seven games in all competitions which includes La Liga and Copa Del Rey, Rayo Vallecano is unbeaten with a draw against Atletico Madrid, and 2 consecutive wins against Sevilla and Real Madrid. In their last game, Vallecano had the chance to win against CFJ Mollerussa in the Copa and get qualified for the next round. In the league, they stand in the 8th position with 22 points and are only 2 points away from a European ticket.
Safe Bets
Considering the statistics of both teams and La Liga, in 14 games played, Girona has averaged a total of 4 corners per game while Rayo Vallecano has an average of also 3.57 as we expect a total corner of at least 7 in the game.
Get Rich Quick
After a difficult battle for ninety minutes, we might witness a draw result with both teams taking the valuable point and changing their position in the table with odds of 3.3 from 22Bet.
At the re-start of the Spanish League, Girona’s injury problems will still be an issue as they will miss Garcia with a ligament injury, Kebe with a knee injury, Hernandez with a thigh injury, and Juanpe with a heel injury. On the other hand, Vallecano will miss Valentin and Catena with suspensions.
