Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

Rayo Vallecano, 11th overall, hopes to return to the first part of the table and get closer to the European places by signing a good performance against Celta Vigo, 18th and first relegation. Francisco's team has lost a lot of points over the last 5 days, pocketing only 3 points out of the 15 distributed! The victory at Yeclano 0-2, a Segunda Division club, in the 1/32nd final of the Copa del Rey is good for the morale of Bebé's partners 2 goals which remained in 1 draw in the capital against Real Madrid 0-0 , on 1 narrow defeat against Girona 1-2, on 1 draw against Barcelona 1-1 and on 1 heavy defeat at Bilbao 4-0 last weekend. The schedule was complicated for Rayo Vallecano who played the first 3 of the championship and who did quite well with 2 draws against 1 defeat. Celta Vigo, for their part, qualified for the 1/16 finals of the Copa del Rey after eliminating Sestao 1-2 in pain thanks to a double from their Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas.

We have to go back to last September 1, more than three months ago, to see traces of the last victory of the Galician club in the championship at the red lantern Almeria 2-3. Since this date, Rafael Benitez's team has played 11 matches, 5 draws and 6 defeats without managing to win in La Liga! This series is still relevant for Bamba 2 goals and its partners. The latter remain on 2 draws in La Liga at Valencia 0-0 and ahead of Cadiz CF 1-1.

It would be fair to say that Rayo Vallecano have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 LaLiga matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Celta Vigo away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
