Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Rayo Vallecano should turn their superior creative play into a home victory against a depleted Celta Vigo. The hosts lost two of their last six, but their underlying performance is climbing. They are creating much better openings now than they did before. Rayo often finish below their potential, failing to win three of ten games where they produced the better chances. Celta kept three clean sheets in six, but they now arrive for their fourth game in a fortnight without their midfield engine. Losing Miguel Román robs them of control. Other absences strip away a big chunk of their goals. Rayo just need better accuracy after finding the target 29 times from 127 shots. Home dominance settles it.
