Alaves vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Betting Tips (10 March)

Promoted last season, Deportivo Alaves seems well on its way to maintaining its position in La Liga with a comfortable cushion of ten points ahead of first-relegation Cadiz at the start of this 28th day. It is clear that the Basques are showing a good face, especially at home where they have lost only one of their last five matches. However, they remain in 5 games without a victory including a defeat last weekend, on the Osasuna pitch 1-0. Before this latest setback, El Glorioso had shared the points Villarreal 1-1, Real Bétis 0-0 and Mallorca 1-1. Opposite, we find Rayo Vallecano who should also remain in La Liga.

Be careful though since he has only won one of his last 17 championship matches and he has stagnated on a series of eight days without a victory for a record of five defeats and three draws. Last weekend, in the wake of their heavy defeat at Girona 3-0, the residents of Vallecas preserved a small point when Cadiz came 1-1. In the standings, they are in 16th place in the championship with 7 points ahead of Cadiz.

Called up with Morocco for the CAN, the young talent Abqar (18 appearances in La Liga) left prematurely during the previous day and he could miss the call (muscle contusion). Remember that Sedlar suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and he will miss this meeting (return scheduled for the end of March according to the club's doctors). Suffering from stomach problems, defender Ruben Duarte (2 goals in 22 appearances) could make his return to competition today.

Author of a full season on a personal level, Samu Omorodion (9 goals, loaned for the season by Atlético) will probably be lined up from the start like Luis Rioja (4 pawns, 4 cakes in La Liga) who was the main architect of the rise to D1.
