Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Valencia achieves its third consecutive home victory

The 27th round of the Spanish La Liga will end with a match between Valencia and Rayo Vallecano. Bookmakers are on the side of the Levantines, despite the tournament position of the opponents. Meanwhile, the bookmakers' logic is quite obvious, as the Bats are doing everything they can to keep their place among the elite of Spanish football. While Rayo Vallecano seems to be fighting for a place in the European Cup competition, the Canadians are unwilling to do so.

Valencia has achieved two wins and two losses in the last four games, which is quite a good result for an outsider. It is important to note that both victories of the Bats in this period were at home, Valencia beat Real Sociedad and Osasuna, and they lost to Barcelona and Atletico in this period. They managed to gain six points, but Valencia is still in the relegation zone before Sunday's pool of the 27th round of the Primera Liga, with only 26 points, one point less than Espanyol, which is in the relegation zone. However, it is worth mentioning that the Catalans have already played the match of the 27th round of the Spanish championship, which means that in the case of Valencia's wins over Rayo, they will escape from the relegation zone. Valencia's home statistics are 11th in the division, +5=5-3, 18:14 goal difference.

The Bees have not won for six consecutive matches; in this period, the Madrid side lost twice with four draws. The defeats happened in games against Cadiz and Celta away. Such results saw Rayo Vallecano drop to eighth place in the Spanish league table with 36 points. The gap to Villarreal, located in the Eurocup competition, is five points. Visually, the Bees have already calmed down about retaining their place in the elite because the gap between the teams from the relegation zone reaches 10 points. Rayo's away stats are only eighth in the division, +4=4-5, 13:16 goal difference.

Valencia: Mamardashvili - Foulquier, Cömert, Ozkacar, Gaya - Musa, Gonzalez - Castillejo, Almeida, Kluivert, Duro. 

Rayo Vallecano: Dimitrievski - Balliu, Lejeune, Catena, Garcia - Comesana, Valentin - Palazon, Trejo, Martin - Camello.

Let's start with the main thing, motivation, which is obviously on the home team's side. Valencia is in the relegation zone, and every match, regardless of the opponent and the factor of the field, seeks only to win. Rayo, on the other hand, has practically solved their questions about retaining their place in the elite and the European Cups; according to the latest results of this team, the Madrid players are not very interested. The Bees' current energy level is questionable, given only had two points in the last six games. At the same time, Valencia won their previous two home games, and, in general, the Levanteans improved after the change of coach. We believe that Valencia will achieve a third consecutive home win, and as for the total, we do not expect many goals.
