In the last round of La Liga, Villarreal beat Almeria away with a score of 2:1. Before that, Castellonians lost to Atletico Madrid 1:2 and played a draw with Atletico Bilabo 1:1. Before the start of the 33rd round, the Yellows occupy 9th place in the La Liga standings, have in the asset in 42 points. Potentially Villarreal still have a chance to climb into the European Cup competition, but to do this you need to win back a handicap of 6 points from Betis and bypass Valencia. Villarreal's home statistics are 15th in the division, +5=4-7, 26:26 goal difference.

In the last five games, Rayo have picked up 8 points: wins over Betis and Osasuna, draws with Celta and Getafe, and a 0:1 defeat to Alaves away. These results allow Madrid to occupy 15th place in the La Liga standings and ahead of the team from the relegation zone, Cadiz, on 9 points. Rayo's away statistics are twelfth in the Primera, +4=5-7, 11:16 goal difference.

We doubt that Villarreal will give up trying to break into the European Cup competition at the end of the season. At the moment Castellonians are 6 points behind Betis, but they still have a time gap of six rounds to neutralise this handicap. At Rayo the task is more pragmatic, Madrid need to keep their place in the Spanish elite and at the moment the capital team is 9 points ahead of Cadiz. We believe that in this pair it is optimal to bet on Yellow, i.e. on Villarreal, and as for the total, we doubt that the upcoming match will be rich in goals.
