Rayo Vallecano vs Granada: Predictions and Betting Tips

Rayo Vallecano

The team from Madrid, one of this season’s newly-promoted teams, have not started the season as they would have hoped; they have suffered two losses and are yet to score a goal.

Rayo, who have been in a financial crisis for several years now, are unable to make any big signings in the transfer market, so their market has focused on signing from the Spanish second division, with players such as Ivan Balliu, Randy Nteka and Pathé Ciss arriving.

Of the last seven meetings between the two teams, Rayo have won on six occasions.

Granada

Granada come into this game on the back of two draws in the first two games. The Andalusian team are looking for their first win, and this weekend they have a good chance.

Granada have not beaten Rayo Vallecano since 2014.

Key Stats:

• One draw, and four defeats for Rayo in their last five games
• Rayo have conceded nine goals in their last five games
• Three wins and two draws for Granada in their last five games
• Granada have only conceded three goals in their last five games

Rayo Vallecano vs Granada Predictions

Despite Rayo playing at home, we see Granada as the better team. They are more used to playing in the top league, and they are very well-balanced, with both a solid attack and defence. Rayo are not a bad team, but they still lack the experience of being in the first division. Therefore, we see Granada as favourites to take all three points.
