Samsunspor vs Rayo Vallecano prediction

Samsunspor come into this one on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce in Istanbul. They had been unbeaten in five matches across all competitions, including a 5-0 aggregate defeat of Shkendija in the knockout playoff round of the UECL.

Rayo Vallecano managed to pinch themselves a point against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The visitors are now unbeaten in their last five matches, too, finding form in the face of off-field issues.

Rayo will have to contend with a congested fixture schedule and that could be problematic with their intense style of football but they do remain favourites here. 

Samsunspor vs Rayo Vallecano tip: Double chance – Rayo Vallecano to win or draw
