Match Preview

The upcoming match between Rayo Vallecano and Almeria, which will take place at "Campo de Vallecas" and is part of the 34th round of the Spanish championship, lacks intrigue: the visitors have had a terrible season and have prematurely lost any chance of staying in the top division. Are we expecting a victory for the guests?

Losses
Rayo Vallecano's losses are not critical - 20-year-old Mendes and Pape Siss, who rarely makes it into the starting lineup, will not play.Almeria, on the other hand, is in a worse situation. Two main players joined the injured Radovanovic - Viera (red card) and Robertone (accumulation of yellow cards) will not be able to help their teammates in the upcoming match.

Head-to-head encounters
Rayo Vallecano quite easily deals with its opponent - Almeria has celebrated victory in only 5 out of 18 encounters. The last two matches were no exception - both ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of the “bees”. Betting on another home victory is available at 1.66.

Trends
- Almeria concedes in the 2nd half in 8 out of the last 9 matches in La Liga.
- Almeria has not won in 6 out of the last 7 head-to-head encounters with these teams in La Liga.
- Almeria concedes away in 23 out of the last 24 matches in La Liga.

Referee and fouls
The match will be officiated by Francisco Hernandez Maeso, who can be considered a strict referee: he averages 25.0 fouls and showed 4.75 yellow cards this season. However, in recent matches, he has become more lenient: 23.0 fouls and 3.8 “yellows”.
Rayo Vallecano likes to play aggressively and tries to disrupt all opponent attacks through fouls - on average, the team commits 15.2 fouls per match and receives 2.7 yellow cards.Almeria, in turn, also prefers to play rough - on average, committing 13 fouls per match. Moreover, every sixth foul results in a yellow card - 2.3.
Considering that both teams play quite roughly, we advise paying attention to over 4.5 yellow cards.

Corners
The number of goals scored and conceded (27:42) loudly speaks about the style of football Rayo Vallecano plays: practically in every match, the “bees” act as the underdog. Hence, the trend - Rayo Vallecano takes less than 5.5 corners in 9 out of the last 10 matches. You can bet on this at 1.98.

Team reviews
Lately, Rayo Vallecano has very low numbers in the goals scored column - defensive football simply does not allow the team to score many goals and win matches. The recent matches cannot be considered a success for the “bees” - only 1 game out of 4 ended in victory, and in the other 3 cases, the team did not score any goals. The bet “Rayo Vallecano Total goals less (0.5)” is valued at a coefficient of 5.80.
Almeria approaches the upcoming match in terrible spirits: a home defeat against Getafe killed the last chances of the team to stay in La Liga. However, it must be acknowledged that in recent games, the “red-whites” looked quite decent, scoring at least one goal in 7 out of 9 matches. Betting on a goal by the guests is available at 1.64.

Editorial prediction
Rayo Vallecano is considered the obvious favorite for the upcoming match, and it’s no surprise. Almeria has not been able to show competitive football, winning only once throughout the season. Considering that Rayo Vallecano has won in 6 out of the last 7 head-to-head encounters, betting on a home win at 1.63 should easily come through.
