Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid prediction

Rayo Vallecano are desperately looking to overturn a terrible slump but their task doesn’t get any easier this weekend as they welcome league leaders and more illustrious neighbors Real Madrid to their Campo de Futbol de Vallecas stadium (Madrid). A 2-1 loss at Mallorca last time out means the Red Sashes are now winless in six games and are in danger of being dragged into the relegation battle as they are 14th on the log, just 7 points away from the drop zone.

Real Madrid have a spring in their bounce at the moment. An impressive 4-0 thrashing of 2nd placed Girona last weekend saw them open up a 5-point cushion at the top of the standings. They followed that up with a solid 1-0 midweek win away at RB Leipzig in the first leg of their UCL last 16 tie. Brahim Díaz’s brilliant 2nd half strike was all it took to put them in pole position for the 1/4 finals. Coach Ancelotti will look to continue their assault on the league especially now that they have started to create some separation

Both teams are on opposite spectrums as far as form is concerned. While Rayo is struggling to get any sort of footing, Madrid are firing on all cylinders. We expect the home side to try and put up some resistance but the quality within the rank and file of the visitors is too much to overcome. We are therefore backing Ream Madrid to pick up the win here as our main Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid prediction for this game

According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:

Prediction 1: Real Madrid Win

Rayo are winless in their last 6 matches and have actually lost 4 of their last 5 league matches; Real on the other hand have picked up an impressive 5 wins in their last 6 games and they have moved to the top of the league in that timespan.

At home, the situation is even worse for Rayo Vallecano. They have not won any of the last 9 league games and have lost the last three straight.

We expect a bucketload of goals here. Rayo have been at the bottom of the barrel defensively with just 1 clean sheet in their last 9 home games while Real have found their scoring boots again and have been banging in the net of late including the 4-0 rout of Girona last weekend

3 of their last 5 H2H matches have also had at least 3 goals scored

Prediction 3: Bellingham Anytime Scorer

Bellingham has been the star of the show for Real Madrid this season. The English superstar has had a Ballon d’Or caliber season with his goalscoring exploits

He scored a brace in the 4-0 mauling of Girona in their last league match

He is yet to score away in the league this calendar year but we expect him to break the duck and we are therefore backing Bellingham to score anytime in this game as our final Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid prediction
