THE PREDICTION

Former Athletic player, Andoni Iraola, has been exceptional as manager of Rayo Vallecano. Both of these sides are in the battle for a top seven finish and potential European qualification. The home team come into this on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat away to Cadiz in their most recent outing, last weekend. Rayo Vallecano are winless in three matches but remain in the top six ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. They now face an Athletic side that, under the management of Ernesto Valverde, were beaten 1-0 by Osasuna in the first-leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final in midweek. That made it three successive defeats for the Basque club. Given the visitors’ recent form, as well as home advantage, a double chance bet in favour of Rayo looks the way to go for this one.
