Bet on Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo

Can Vigo Pick Up Second Away League Victory?

Vallecano are unbeaten in six league and cup games, winning three and drawing three. After three consecutive La Liga stalemates, Inigo Perez’s troops won 3-1 at Ferrol in the Copa del Rey last time out.

Celta Vigo have won four of their last five fixtures in all competitions. They ended 2024 with a 2-0 home league victory over Real Sociedad and started 2025 by winning 3-2 at Racing in the cup.

There is not a lot to split these two evenly matched teams in La Liga. Celta occupy 11th spot after seven wins, three draws, and eight defeats. Vallecano are a place and two points behind, having won five, drawn seven, and lost six.

Both teams are in good form, and Friday’s fixture in the Spanish capital promises to be entertaining.

Both league meetings last season ended in goalless draws. In fact, four of the last six Vallecano vs Celta games have finished 0-0.

Vigo were the last winners of this fixture, securing a 3-0 home win in March 2023. The Galicia club are unbeaten in seven against Vallecano, though five of those have been draws.

Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips & Predictions

Rayo are looking for their first home win since October. Perez’s boys have struggled on their own patch this term, picking up just two victories. Vigo have lost only two of their last six away matches, and we fancy the visitors to edge this one.  

This fixture does not produce many goals, and one could be enough to decide Friday’s match in Madrid. Take a punt on the away win and under 2.5 goals at 5.20. Also, why not back Celta to win 1-0 at 7.25?
