Free Betting Tip - Rayo Vallecano vs. Valencia 11.04.2022 – La Liga

Details:

Two teams whose form curves are completely opposite. The hosts are benefiting from an outstanding autumn, but are in very poor shape in 2022. The guests, on the other hand, have been able to convince with a strong defense in recent weeks and have been unbeaten for five games. Nevertheless, host Rayo Vallecano is seen as a very clear favorite against Valencia according to current betting odds.

Eleven league Rayo games without a win

The strong point haul from the fall provided a comfortable cushion in the fight to stay in the league. A cushion that was sorely needed, because the last success for Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish upper house actually dates from December 18, 2021. Since the 2-0 win against bottom Deportivo Alaves, the Iraola team has played eleven more games and was able to during this period only get a meager three draws.

In the meantime, the climber has been ranked and is only in 13th place. Slowly but surely, the situation in the table is also becoming precarious, because Rayo Vallecano is by no means saved with 33 points. The lead over the first relegation zone is now only a meager five points. The renewed setback last weekend was all the more bitter when Rayo had to settle for a draw despite an early 2-0 lead. You only had to accept the compensation in minute 90+4.

Expected lineup of Rayo Vallecano:
Dimitrievski - Garcia, Catena, Suarez, Balliu - Valentin, Ciss - Garcia, Nteka, Palazon - Guardiola

Valencia witth Five games without a loss

Having failed seven times in a row between December 31 and February 20, Valencia have gone five league games unbeaten since then. What is particularly striking is the regained stability on the defensive. Pepe Bordalas is well known for this, because as Getafe coach his team conceded just 208 goals in 212 competitive games.

During the current series without defeat, the young Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili played the center of attention. The goalkeeper edged out Jasper Cillessen and hasn't conceded a goal in the last four league games. The only goal conceded during the current run (in the 3-1 win against Granada) he was injured and therefore not in the squad. Only one goal in five league games on Monday evening between Rayo Vallecano and Valencia speaks for a prediction of an under 2.5 or “Both teams to score? No".

Especially since the offensive suffers a little due to the very strong defensive performance. A 3-4-3 system sounds relatively offensive on paper, but the bats don't have countless offensive options. Valencia have averaged just 1.75 goals in their last eight league games. The bet on the under 1.5 was even the right choice five times.

Estimated line-up of Valencia:
Mamardashvili - Gabriel Paulista, Alderete, Diakhaby - Gaya, Guillamon, Soler, Correia - Gil, Gomez, Guedes
