Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

16th at the start of this day, Rayo Vallecano is clearly playing for its survival in La Liga and it will have to fight to acquire it. Fortunately for the residents of Vallecas, they manage to maintain a certain consistency in their results at home with a current series of four matches without defeat for a record of a victory against Bétis 2-0 and three draws against Real Madrid 1-1, Cadiz 1-1 and Getafe last week 0-0. In a more global aspect, the Madrid club has won only one of its last 12 matches in the elite: 6 defeats, 5 draws. Finalist of the Copa del Rey last season and author of two very good recent campaigns in the elite, Osasuna has never managed to find the same cruising speed this year and a place in the top 10 would clearly be well paid.

11th at the start of this day, the Basques lost at home Monday evening on the last day against Valencia, a direct candidate for Europe 0-1 with in particular a missed penalty from Budimir in the 97th minute. A third defeat in the last four days for the Rojillos after those experienced on the Girona meadow 2-0 and against Real Madrid at home 2-4. In the meantime, Osasuna had found a smile again by slapping Almeria in Andalusia 0-3.

Warned in added time against Getafe, midfielder Oscar Valentin (1 goal in 28 league appearances) will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Injured, the important Alvaro Garcia (6 goals) will be out, like Diego Mendez (very little used this season). For the rest, the group will be complete and it is obligatory to mention the sad seasons of Isi Palazon and Sergio Camello who only scored 3 goals each this year. Among the Basques, Kike Barja (16 appearances in La Liga), Unai Garcia (1 goal in 7 games this season) and Oroz (1 goal, 1 assist) will be out due to their respective physical problems.

In recent days, it is the Croatian striker and hero this season Budimir (16 goals) who has joined the infirmary and he is highly doubtful for this meeting. Behind, on a personal level, apart from Munoz (4 goals) and Raul Garcia (3 pawns) who stand out, the offensive sector is quite disappointing.
