La Liga returns with another round of fixtures as Rayo Vallecano locks horns with visitors, Real Betis at the Estadio de Vallecas on Sunday (January 8).

Rayo vallecano will head into this game on the back of a 2-game winless streak and that will be a cause for concern. They sit in 8th position with 23 points to show for their efforts and have been relatively inconsistent with their performances this season. Going into this game, Rayo vallecano have a terrible record against real betis as they have not secured a single win in their last 6 meetings, while conceding a total of 9 goals in their last 5 games alone.

Real Betis on the other hand will head into this game in 7th position with 25 points, just 4 away from 3rd placed Real Sociedad. On the defense, Real Betis have been very solid, as they have shown a continued compactness which has seen them concede only 22 goals all season, making them the 2nd best defense in the league. Going into this game, Real Betis will be very confident of their chances of getting something out of this match.

Looking at the records have shown that Real Betis have the clear advantage here. They have a 100% record against their host in their last 5 games, drawing three times and winning twice in that time period, and they will be looking to continue that run. They have also found the back of the net total of 9 times in those matches. We are backing Real Betis here to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a hard fought draw.
