Valladolid vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Real Valladolid returned to the 1st division after falling two years ago. This year, the objective for the Pucela will be to maintain its position as quickly as possible to avoid a chaotic final sprint. For the moment, we cannot say that the club owned by Ronaldo Nazario is acclimating well to the elite of Iberian football with only one victory, acquired on the very first day against Espanyol Barcelona 1-0. Since then, it has been a record of 7 games without a victory and above all 5 defeats against Real Madrid 3-0, a volley at Barcelona 7-0, the same in Vigo 3-1 and during the last two days to date, against Sevilla FC in Andalusia 2-1 and for the visit of Mallorca last weekend 1-2. Obviously, in the ranking, Valladolid is at the bottom of the table, in 19th place.

You might think that Rayo is doing better than its evening opponent, but ultimately, it only has one additional victory, but that obviously makes the difference . He obtained his 2 successes during J1 on the field of Real Sociedad 1-2 and on the return from the international break against the Basques of Osasuna 3-1. Furthermore, in the process, James Rodriguez's new partners have not lost since this victory but have not won either with 3 points shared with Atlético at home 1-1, in Girona in the process 0-0 and last weekend, at home, against another promoted Leganes 1-1. 

For this part, the Moroccans Amallah and Anuar will be on the sidelines (injured), as will de la Hoz, Ozkacar and Sanchez, all also injured. There is also uncertainty around starting goalkeeper Karl Hein. Author of 2 goals and 4 assists in the 2nd division last year, Raul Moro has already scored 2 goals in La Liga in just 8 appearances. However, on a personal level, few people really stand out despite the presence of Latasa (recruited from Real Madrid), Darwin Machis (4 goals with Cadiz last year in La Liga), Amath Ndiaye, Kenedy or even Kike Perez (1 goal this season).

Victim of a serious injury, Espino will stay at home this evening like Chavarria and Mendez, both on the flank as well. Author of a double in the final of the Paris Olympic Games this summer, Camello scored his second goal of the season against Leganes in 8 appearances. The main major elements of the squad will be on the trip like James Rodriguez, De Frutos, Embarba, Nteka and Isi Palazon.
