Granada vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Expect an exchange of goals

To complete the program of the second round of the Spanish championship will be the match between Granada and the capital club Rayo Vallecano. Bookmakers do not see a clear favorite in the pair, believe that the South have slightly better chances of success, but slightly.

Granada had good statistics in friendly games before the season's official start, winning five matches out of six with one loss to Almeria. However, the southern team started the championship with a 1:3 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Morata, Depay, and Llorente scored for the capital team, while Samu scored for Granada. The Southerners had the initiative, the ball was in the feet of Granada players 55% of the game time, but it did not bring success to the Southerners.

Rayo started the season with an away win over Almeria, who had one of the best home stats in La Liga last season. The Bees scored both goals in the first half, with Palazón and Nteka scoring, both of whom, incidentally, scored from the penalty spot. Rayo was better than the opponent and played on the xG system for an index of 2.22, so everything is logical. Madrid possessed the ball 40% of the playing time.

Granada was able to score Atletico away; it is logical to expect from the South in the home match also at least one scored goal. In the opening round, Madrid showed quality football and deservedly scored twice; we expect the Bees to be active in the first away match of the season. The first bet is an exchange goal. And in general, as for the outcome, we will not be surprised if the final match of the second round ends in a draw. Granada is a home team, and on their field lose very unwillingly. At the same time, Madrid has experience on their side, which may help the Bees gain one point in their first away game of the season.
