Rayo Vallecano hosts Betis in round 20 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 9th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
Rayo Vallecano predictably lost to Atletico Madrid in the last round (2-0). In general, the team's away results are very weak (only one victory in ten games). But Andoni Iraola's men are really impressive at their native stadium. The Red Sashes didn’t suffer a single defeat in nine home games: eight victories and one draw with a goal difference of 19-3. Rayo Vallecano is the best team in LaLiga in terms of home results. The club from the suburbs of Madrid is unusually high in the standings, namely, in 6th position. It scored 30 points in 19 matches. The Champions League zone is only two points ahead.

Betis looked so good in the first half of the season that even despite two defeats in the last two rounds, it is still in the 3rd position in the standings. The Green-Whites earned 33 points in 19 games. However, the gap from the 4th and 5th lines was reduced to one and two points, respectively. If Pellegrini's men lose in the upcoming game, they risk leaving the top five. The Andalusians are among the top three teams in Spain in terms of points earned on foreign pitches: 16 points in nine games. All the results are as follows: five victories, one draw, and three defeats with a goal difference of 13-11. Five out of nine away games ended with Over 2.5 goals scored.
In the first round, Betis and Rayo Vallecano staged a real goal shootout. The Andalusians were stronger with a score of 3-2. In the last seven head-to-head matches at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas, the following results were recorded: three victories of the hosts, three draws, and only one victory of Betis. Rayo Vallecano can beat any opponent on its native pitch. Actually, the statistics of the home results confirm this once again: eight wins and one draw in nine previous matches. After two consecutive defeats, Betis will probably try to return to the path of victories. Moreover, even in the event of a draw, Pellegrini's men are likely to be outside the top five. Both teams are extremely motivated and will take the field with one goal - to win. I recommend betting on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
