Rayo Vallecano hosts Lugo in round 42 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, May 30th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
Rayo Vallecano lacked just a little to get in the playoff zone in the previous season. The Red Sashes finished in 7th place. It seemed that they wouldn’t manage to achieve even such a result in the current championship. But the modest Madrid club showed a finishing spurt. At first, there was a difficult away win over Fuenlabrada. It was followed by a home convincing victory over Oviedo and a solid 2-0 win on the field of Castellon. As a result, before the 42nd round, it was Andoni Iraola's men who got into the top six. To be exact, they round out it, outranking Sporting Gijon by only two points. In fact, a draw may be enough not to think about the success of a competitor in a parallel match.

Lugo has been playing in Segunda since 2012. And only once in all this period did a modest team manage to get to the upper part of the standings. However, the Clockwork Game took only 9th place and was not even close to fighting for a ticket to LaLiga. Perhaps now this experience of constant battles for survival is helping. The team could not win from the end of January until mid-May. It even scored only one point in eight rounds of Segunda. But then Lugo managed to beat Mirandes and Cartagena at home with the same 2-1 score. Between these victories, the White-and Reds scored one point on the field of the main outsider, Albacete. As a result, according to the results of last Monday, the team left the relegation zone, dropping UD Logrones there. But it lags behind only in additional indicators, and Sabadell has one point less. Therefore, Lugo has no right to relax in the last round.
If we look at seven of the last eight head-to-head matches, the team that played at home won. And four consecutive games ended with an identical 1-0 score in favor of the hosts. This time both clubs must do their best. Moreover, judging by the May matches, they are in good shape. We bet on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
