Levante vs. Rayo Vallecano 9/11/21 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Levante is welcoming Ray Vallecano to Ciudad de Valencia in round 4 of the Spanish LaLiga. Levante is in terrible form, and they are still without a win this season. after losing their first two games of the new season, Rayo has finally gotten a win just before the international break.

Levante has won only 1 of their last 9 games, but they haven’t won any of their last 3 games in LaLiga. The good news is Levante has lost only 1 game so far, and they are now in 13^th place with 2 points, 4 scored goals, and 5 conceded goals. In their last game against Sociedad on the road, Levante has had 48% of ball possession, 0 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 82% of the correct passes. Offensively, Levante hasn’t done anything in this game, and they were under immense pressure from Sociedad. Levante has lost this match 1-0. Pier, Campana, Marti, and Morales have each scored 1 goal for Levante so far this season. Melero has added 2 assists. Soldado and De Frutos Sebastian are both injured, and they will miss this game. Levante needs to get their offense going, and fast because if they drop to the relegation zone, it will take a lot of effort to get out.

Rayo is the newcomer to LaLiga, and they are now in 10^th place with 3 points, 4 scored goals, and 4 conceded goals. Rayo didn’t score a single goal in their first two games this season, but they were outstanding in their last game against Granada. Rayo has had 47% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 71% of the correct passes. After an outstanding first half where Rayo scored 3 goals, they have scored 1 more goal in the second half, and Rayo has won this game 4-0. Nteka, Comesana, Trejo, and Garcia have each scored 1 goal for Rayo so far this season. Trejo has also added 2 assists. Lopez is the only injured player for Rayo Vallecano at this time. As the newcomers, Rayo’s only goal is to stay in LaLiga after this season, but the season has only just started, and Rayo will have their hands full for most of it.

When playing at home, Levante hasn’t lost any of their last 3 games against Rayo Vallecano, while Rayo has lost their last 4 games in a row. I don’t expect this to be a good game with a lot of goals, but I think Levante is the better team here, and they are playing at home. I’m taking Levante.
