Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Draw -1 goal Rayo Vallecano – 3.90
Rayo Vallecano are going through their worst moment of the season and Osasuna, a team with a pretty good away performance, will be up against them. We see both teams very evenly matched at the moment, so a draw seems a very likely outcome.
Rayo Vallecano have conceded at least one goal in four straight games, as they are going through a moment of weakness, so we think it could be a game that ends in a draw but with both teams scoring.
Rayo Vallecano are still the third best home team, so we think that in case the match does not end in a draw it could be in their favour. Therefore, we think it would be a good Handicap to deduct one goal from them from the final score so the match could end in a draw.
Rayo Vallecano’s last five matches have had a total of eight goals, of which only three in Rayo’s favour. Of the three goals scored by Rayo only one has come in the second half. The team from Madrid has noticeably lost its attacking potential for which it was characterised until now.
Breaking with the frequent statistic of other teams, in which the majority of goals, whether for or against, come late in games, Rayo’s games appear more in the first halves, specifically between the 16th and 30th minute of games.
As for Osasuna’s statistics, so far this season, 0-0 has been their most repeated result, up to five times. That their games have a total of two goals is also the most repeated, up to eight times.
In the case of Osasuna, the most goals are scored between the 76th minute and the 90th minute, with 13 goals scored out of a total of 49.
With 27 goals scored for Rayo in 22 games and 22 goals scored for Osasuna in 23 games, neither team’s offensive numbers are too impressive, so an almost certain bet is that the game will have less than 2.5 total goals, with odds of 1.61 at William Hill.
Rayo go into the game with Merquelanz missing and Unai López and Fran García doubtful due to muscular problems.
For Osasuna, Aridane Hernández and Jesús Areso are absent for this match.

Highlighted Player
Radamel Falcao
Despite his age, Radamel Falcao is still a striker with an incredible eye for goal, his team misses him when he is not playing. He has scored five goals so far and even though he hasn’t scored for many games, he seems to us the player to follow for this match.
