Valencia take on the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the round 27 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 3rd at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
After the winter break, the bats seem to have gotten themselves together. It's really about time because for the first time since the mid-80s, the team risks being relegated to Segunda. Yes, Valencia is still a weak team in away matches in La Liga, as it has been throughout the championship. However, under the guidance of Ruben Baraja, the team has started winning at Mestalla. In the two most recent home matches of the championship, the Oranges have achieved victories over not the weakest opponents - tough Osasuna (1-0) and Real Sociedad (1-0), who are fighting for championship medals.

Rayo Vallecano are much higher in the standings than the bats, but even bookmakers do not consider Andoni Iraola's team as favorites in this match. This is because the Madrid team has been showing weak results lately. They haven't won for six consecutive rounds. While they have been able to at least draw at home, they have suffered two consecutive defeats away - to Cadiz (0-1) and Celta (0-3). Before that, they were only able to share points with modest Getafe on their own field (1-1).
Lately, Valencia have been good in matches at home, while Rayo looks very sad in away matches. Therefore, for me, the hosts of this match are the favorites. I don't believe in the bats losing, but their success is quite possible. Based on the above, a bet on the hosts with a handicap of 0 seems obvious. Valencia has won six of its seven victories this season precisely at Mestalla. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano has suffered five of its eight defeats in La Liga on the road. The Madrid team last defeated the bats away in the distant 2012. And if you take the last 20 matches at Mestalla, Valencia has only lost to this opponent once, winning in most of the matches. A handicap of 0 in favor of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win with 0.0 handicap.
