Rayo Vallecano – Valencia, Picks and Tips
Rayo has had an impressive start to the season. After the first 10-15 games, the small Madrid team was in the European places. Campo de Vallecas was probably the strongest field of a newly-promoted side in recent La Liga history. However, the miracle didn't last for long. Slowly, the consistency of positive results disappeared. Rayo are suffering for every point at the end of the season, but the solution seems to be this: games against direct relegation rivals (Alaves, Getafe, Mallorca and Levante) must bring points. With Valencia, Sociedad or Barcelona and draws are also an option. Maybe the hosts won't push too hard in Rayo Vallecano - Valencia.
Valencia is in 9th place, 10 points behind Real Sociedad (the 6th place team, the first European Cup eligible team). However, the Copa del Rey final may be a more valuable target than chasing Sociedad. Valencia will take on Betis Sevilla on April 23 at 21:00. I remind you that the team that manages to prevail in the Spanish Cup final is guaranteed tickets to the Europa League.At first glance, the Rayo-Valencia clash doesn't look like the most attractive match, but it's not out of the question that amidst some possible relaxations we might see some nice football.
