Rayo Vallecano vs Elche: Prediction, Betting Tips &Odds | 3 OCTOBER, 2022

• Football: Spain, La Liga
• Stadium: Campo de Futbol de Vallecas
• Time: 10 – 02– 2022

Rayo Vallecano’s Campo de Vallecas features a Monday showdown with Elche. The home side would desperately try their best to pick a winner from this game as they look to end their 7-game win drought. However, as Jorge Figueroa, the officiating referee stands in the middle of these teams, we hope for a fair game, as these two bottom-tiered teams seem desperate to desecrate parity and climb up the table.

Los Franjirrojos would need to buckle up, having picked just 7 points in the last six matches. A win would see them climb to a probable position of eighth, coveted by Getafe, Mallorca, Celta Vigo, Girona, and Real Sociedad.

Averaging one point per home game in the last 4 home matches, Francisco Rodriguez’s eleven are set to cause a very uncomfortable experience for the visitors, unsatisfied with their league standings.

Injury-wise, the home fort would be held without the presence of Pere Milla (Stomach problems) Omar Mascarell (Achilles tendon injury), Fidel (Hamstring strain) Jony Alamo (Meniscus injury), and Pedro Bigas (Knock). Also, Gonzalo Verdu would be absent due to a straight red card suspension picked up in the last match.

Form: L-L-W-L-L

Coach: Francisco Rodriguez

Tentative Lineup (Subject to change): Edgar Badia (GK) Federico Ferbadez (DF) Pedro Bigas (DF) Carlos Clerc (DF) Pol Lirola (DF) John Nwankwo (MD) Raul Guti (MD) Alex Collado (MD) Gerard Gumbau (MD) Lucas Boye (MD) Ezequiel Ponce (FW)

 Having received blows in the last four games, Los Franjiverdes seek to secure a morale boost as Lady luck seems to have forgotten them, seeing as they always fall to the disappointing end of the scoreline. Since their first home win against Valencia which ended three goals to two (3-2), fans have waited anxiously for Andoni Iraola to repeat more of the same.

The game features an eleven-man squad excluding Pep Chavarita (Back Injury) Raul De Tomas (Knock) Andres Martin (Shoulder injury) and Salvi Sanchez (Calf injury) who would watch from the sideline due to injuries.

Presently, the only way for Elche to climb the table despite a tentative win would be for Cadiz (who are currently in 19th place) to suffer a defeat, which is very unlikely.

Form: D-L-L-L-L

Coach: Andoni Iraola

Tentative Lineup (Subject to change): Stole Dimitrievski (GK); Francisco Garcia (DF); Alejandro Catena (DF) Florian Lejeune (DF) Ivan Balliu (DF); Santi Comesana (MD) Isi Palazon (MD) Oscar Trejo (MD) Alvaro Garcia (MD) Oscar Valentin (MD) Sergio Camello (FW)

• Bet on Under 2.5 match goals
• Bet on Rayo Vallecano to win
• Bet on 1 - 0 Correct score

• Even though both teams suffer both at home and away respectively, Rayo Vallecano may look to edge over Elche. One thing is probable, goals won’t rain.
• Rayo Vallecano may use home advantage and the support of the home fans to eventually steal the win.
• Since goals won’t rain due to the strikers' poor form in front of goal, the most probable scoreline for this fixture would be 1-0.

A way to begin this weekend would be for both teams to put on their very best. In this particular face-off, we know a draw is very tempting. However, one of the teams would bite the dust.

Good luck out there!
