Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid 26.02.2022

Rayo Vallecano will be hoping to slow their slide down the slippery slope on the La Liga charts when this weekend but the task look onerous as they host league leaders and neighbours Real Madrid for their local derby at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid).

Real Madrid on their part, after seeing their big cushion at the top of the table whittled down in recent weeks, upped the ante last time out against Alaves, with a dazzling second-half display from Benzema setting them up to a convincing 3-0 win at home after a goalless first half. Benzema had a hand in all three goals, assisting the opening two goals and scoring a penalty at the death.

We expect both teams to have a go at each other here as they both need the win here. As such we fancy an end-to-end encounter that is likely to yield plenty of corners. 5 of their last 6 games have had at least 9 corners and we are backing a repeat of the same here

Main tip: Over 8.5 Corners (go to tip details)
