Real Madrid take on the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 24th at
Real Madrid ended their season last Wednesday. They not only relinquished their Champions League title but were convincingly defeated by Manchester City in foggy Albion, offering very little resistance. A 0-4 score on the final scoreboard is a mark of being "overthrown." Now, what matters more is the outcome of such a turn of events rather than what is happening in La Liga. They lost to Barcelona a long time ago, falling hopelessly behind by mid-spring. Yes, there was a 4-0 victory at Camp Nou, which paved the way for winning the Copa del Rey. Additionally, under Ancelotti, they secured the UEFA Super Cup and yet another victory in the Club World Cup. However, it is clear that the season as a whole has been unsuccessful. Against Valencia in the previous round, they played with the sole motivation of holding onto at least the second place, denying it to Atletico. Eventually, they managed to win at Mestalla amidst controversies surrounding Vinicius.

Rayo Vallecano can now be considered another fairly typical "coaching team" in Spanish football. Andoni Iraola was a very noticeable player, although not a star, who recently took on a new role. There were doubts about his candidacy, but for now, only successes follow. First, the Madrid club, under his leadership, once again made it to La Liga, albeit through the sieve of the playoffs. Then the newcomer, unlike previous attempts, consolidated their position in La Liga (even being in the top four at Christmas) and reached the semifinals of the domestic cup. Finally, in the current season, they are among the contenders for European competitions. Yes, victories are interspersed with defeats, but the same pattern can be seen with their opponents, and only the results of the last few rounds will determine everyone's position. Perhaps the modest capital team does not particularly want to fight for success. After all, they lost 2-4 to Espanyol, who is in the relegation zone.
Playing against Rayo Vallecano has been inconvenient for the "Royal Club" as they have had 2 wins and 2 losses in their last 4 encounters. The "Pachecos" reminded Real Madrid of their character this season by defeating the giants 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid is the favorite, but they might not be particularly motivated for this match. Therefore, it would be wise to consider the neutral option of "total goals over 2.5."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
