Real to Return to Winning Ways in La Liga

Real Madrid are in stuttering form in La Liga, winning only one of the past five. After four victories on the bounce, Los Blancos have taken just five points from a possible 15.

Real’s form has seen them drop to third, behind rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Barca lead the way on 57 points, with Atleti a point behind. Merengues desperately need to get back to winning ways in the league this weekend.

Vallecano are chasing a European spot in La Liga. Inigo Perez’s boys are seventh on 36 points after nine wins, nine draws, and eight losses. They are just two points away from the final European place.

Rayo are looking to bounce back after no wins in three league games. They recently went nine unbeaten in La Liga (five wins, four draws), but the Red Sashes have lost two and drawn one of the previous three.

The pair played out a six-goal thriller in December’s meeting at El Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. Real came from two goals down to lead, but Isa Palazon’s effort rescued a point for Little Thunderbolt.

Vallecano have caused their neighbours many problems in recent times, with the last three ending in draws. Real Madrid have won just one of the past five meetings.

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips & Predictions

Vallecano have been a thorn in Real’s side many times of late, but Los Blancos should make home advantage count this time. We like the look of 2.75 for the home win and over 3.5 goals.

Rayo have scored in four of their previous five meetings with Real Madrid. Check out the tempting price of 2.80 for the Real win and both teams to score here.
