Rayo Vallecano welcome the visitors Real Betis in the Spanish La Liga – Round 29. The match will be held on Sunday, March, 31st, at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid).
After 7 losing matches in a row, Rayo Vallecano’s management finally took a decision to dismiss the team’s coach Michel. Paco Jemez, who headed the club in 2012-16, has replaced him on Monday. Under this specialist’s reign, Vallecano succeeded most in their history, having attained the 8th place in the elite division. In 2016, the team left the La Liga, and the coach was fired.

Real Betis are very inconsistent throughout the season. In their last 10 matches, defeats were alternated with wins, and there was one draw. Overall, the side rarely feature stalemates – they registered only 6 draws. The team take the 8th place in the table and claim a Europa League place at least – they are 4 points off it and 7 points below the Champions League top-four. Betis will hardly manage to reach the leading quarter in the remaining 10 rounds, but they are quite capable of fighting for the 6th tier.
Appointment of the new managers normally energizes teams and provides for their positive results in the first clashes. Moreover, Jemez is not a new head, and he knows the insides. Apart from that, Betis are unstable and not strong on the road. Of their 13 outings, they won only 5. Vallecano sit second-last in the standings, 6 points adrift the safe 17th line. They have 10 rounds to rectify the situation. The newly appointed manager has already started to take first steps towards success – he did not allow his players compete in the Catalonia’s friendly against Venezuela on the reasonable grounds that they need to get ready for the final part of the league and keep their place there. Considering all the above, we assume that in light of the present changes in the club, the hosts will not lose at least. By the way, of 9 meetings between the opponents on Vallecano’s side, the homeside conceded 2 and won 4.
Predication for the match: Rayo Vallecano to win or Draw.
