Our Predictions
Rayo Vallecano are in 7th place and showing more consistency than Oviedo, who sit 19th. Rayo's strong away form (2 wins, 2 draws in last 5) suggests they're well equipped to take three points. With Oviedo dealing with key injuries and only 1 win at home in recent games, the 2.30 odds for Rayo to win offer good value.
Recent head-to-head matches have been tight, and Oviedo's lack of firepower—plus both sides' tendency to play cautiously—point to a low-scoring affair. Three draws in last ten, and both teams' last five matches show few goals. The 1.57 odds for under 2.5 are justified.
With Oviedo's goal struggles, Rayo's disciplined defense, and injuries hurting the home side, it's likely only one team finds the net. Four of their last ten H2H matches ended with only one team scoring, making the 1.75 odds for 'No' both logical and appealing.
