Expert Betting Tips

In this pairing, we suggest going with the Basque team's excellent form, which has seen them go on a long unbeaten run, unlike the Madrid side, who have lost their last two matches. In addition, Rayo has become a comfortable opponent for the Basque side of late, with the Lions having won four out of five games against the Bees and drawing one. The Basques will not lose on Sunday, and we would not be surprised to see them take all three points from the capital. Regarding the total, we doubt that we should expect a good performance from the upcoming meeting.
