Rayo Vallecano take on the visitors Valencia in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 11th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
A powerful start of the season by Rayo Vallecano, which seemed to be based on the underestimation of opponents, helped the club from suburb of Madrid even climb into the quartet of leaders in December. Of course, no one believed that the newcomer would be able to hold out there right up to May, eventually getting a place in the next Champions League. But the decline was very sharp. Either deciding that the main tasks were achieved, that Rayo Vallecano would not go to a new decline, and relaxed, or simply losing courage, but since mid-December they have not managed to win in the league. This was compensated by successful results in the cup, but everything ended there in the semi-finals, in the games with Betis. There was a chance that at least in the last round we could win - with Granada we managed to lead by 2 goals by the 17th minute. But in the end, the Nasrids secured a draw in the 94th minute from the penalty spot.

Valencia seem to have decided to focus on the main match of the spring. And this is not in the LaLiga – they need to win the final of the Copa del Rey. It turned out to break through there, beating, among other things, Athletic in the two-match semi-final round. Against this background, the struggle in La Liga fades into the background. For now, having weighed their strength, the "bats" seem to have abandoned the race for "two birds with one stone", and will focus on the Copa final, where they will try to beat Betis. In another sign of this, April began with a goalless draw at the Mestalla against struggling Cadiz. On the other hand, the unbeaten streak has not been interrupted - it, taking into account the cup, has already reached 6 games. And they obviously do not want to interrupt it, even in Madrid, but with a modest Rayo Vallecano.
In 2018/2019, the last time the Bees were promoted to La Liga, the opponents exchanged victories. And in November last year at the Mestalla, Rayo Vallecano achieved a 1-1 draw. Rayo Vallecano has half a dozen players in question, including Gonalón and Rochina. "Valencia" is unlikely to have time to return Fulkier, Lato and Marcos Andre. The bookmakers consider Rayo Vallecano, playing at home, as the favorite for this meeting.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win with +0.5 handicap.
