Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano prediction

Valencia picked up what could be a pivotal 0-1 win away at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, which saw them distance themselves from the relegation zone.

Carlos Corberan's side sit on 42 points now - ordinarily enough to stay up - but such is the fierce battle to avoid the drop this season, they may well need to pick up some more before the campaign comes to a conclusion.

Rayo Vallecano are one point better off after their 1-1 draw with Girona on Monday, which saw both sides score in the dying minutes of the match.

This match is likely to be a cagey one with both sides likely to adopt a 'don't lose' approach rather than going all out for the win. With that in mind, we're backing under 2.5 goals in this one.

Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano tip: Under 2.5 goals
