Rayo Vallecano hosts Leganes in the first leg of the Spanish LaLiga 2 promotion playoff semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, June 3rd at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
Rayo Vallecano made it to the playoffs from the 6th line of the main standings. The Red Sashes scored 67 points in 42 rounds and defended the last place in the playoff zone in the fight against Sporting Gijon, which eventually lagged two points behind. Vallecano showed quite average goal-scoring indicators in the tournament, namely, 52 goals scored and 40 goals conceded. In the last ten matches, the team gained four victories and three draws and lost three times. In recent rounds of Segunda, Rayo Vallecano lost to Lugo (0-1), defeated Castellon (0-2), Real Oviedo (4-1), and Fuenlabrada (1-2), and tied against Leganes (1-1). In the last five home matches, the Red Sashes chalked up two defeats, two draws, and one victory.

Leganes climbed significantly higher in the standings. After the last round, the team took third place with 73 points scored. Its main opponent, Almeria, lagged behind only due to a worse goal difference. Let me remind you that Los Pepineros scored 51 goals and conceded 32 times. The Cucumber Growers had much better statistics in the last rounds — they have never lost in the last eight matches. Leganes gained victories over Zaragoza (0-5), Malaga (1-0), and Logrones (3-0), as well as goalless draws with Mirandes and Sporting Gijon. In the last five away matches, Los Pepineros gained two draws and two victories and suffered one defeat.
Rayo Vallecano managed to defeat Leganes only once in the last head-to-head meetings. And it happened only in a friendly match. The winner of this confrontation will face either Almeria or Girona. But both teams have chances to win the upcoming game. I decided to bet on the victory of Leganes with a +1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win with +1.5 handicap
