Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions
- There have been at least three goals in nine of Villarreal’s 13 home fixtures this season
- Four of Rayo Vallecano’s last seven away league games have featured three or more goals
- Villarreal have lost just once in 13 home clashes with Vallecano
Villarreal hoping to keep going
Villarreal have been impressive at home this season, winning six of their eight home league games and wracking up 14 goals in the process.Indeed, there’s been plenty of excitement in their matches at la Ceramica, with nine of their 13 fixtures in all competitions there containing at least three strikes.
New boss Quique Setién has now been in charge for 13 games too, in which time they have scored 25 times, with seven of those outings seeing three or more goals scored.
Vallecano hate facing Villarreal away
Rayo Vallecano on the other hand have scored and conceded 11 times in nine away La Liga fixtures, with four of the last seven containing at least three goals.They absolutely hate travelling to this part of the world though, as they have faced Villarreal away on 13 occasions, losing nine and picking up their sole victory at la Ceramica over 20 years ago.
Six of the last nine of those head-to-head clashes have seen at least three goals scored, with Vallecano conceding two or more in each of the last seven.
I predict that Villarreal will win this game with three or more goals over the 90 minutes, selecting 2-1 to Villarreal as a correct score prediction.
