Betis welcome the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga – Round 15. The match will be held on Sunday, December 9th at the Estadio Benito Villamarin (Sevilla).
Betis may not pace themselves in the last Europa League match, concentrating on the La Liga instead. Still, it is not clear why bookies predict the home win so firmly. Well, Betis may win indeed, but it’s not quite obvious why they offer the 1.43 odds even on the Hosts to score under 2.5 goals. Betis play little different this campaign. They are not so robust in the attack, but they have shored their defense now. If the team find themselves under pressure though, they make huge mistakes. Betis do not score much in the Italian league overall, featuring 14 goals in 14 rounds, 4 of them being netted to Barcelona, actually.

Are Rayo Vallecano that bad? Well, their defense really leaves much to be desired. Take, for example, their defeat to Alaves, 1-5, and to Sevilla, 1-4; also, they lost to Barcelona, 2-3, and to Valencia, 0-3, – those were the only fixtures where they conceded over 3 goals. As we see, these Rayo’s opponents do not struggle in the attack (but for the Alaves). In the last round, the visitors finally managed to win for the first time over the long period. They like to attack and keep the ball on their side, but they conceded in 3 consecutive outings. Rayo urgently need to rack up points. For this, they must play very cautious in the defense when they travel to Sevilla.
It is possible that Betis may get 3 points in the coming match, but we don’t expect them to get a smashout win. We may count on an underscoring match. The home side currently prefer to win with the minimum goal difference, 1-0 would do. The ‘Big Greens’ have never got a win by a margin of over one goal yet. We expect same on Sunday.
Prediction for the match: Betis to score under 2.5 goals.
