Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Madrid 2/26/22 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Rayo Vallecano is welcoming Real Madrid to Estadio de Vallecas in round 26 of the Spanish LaLiga. Rayo is in bad form right now, they are struggling on both ends, and they need to snap out of it. Real Madrid has also been struggling, and they are also playing in the Champions League next week, but they also need a win here as well.

Rayo Vallecano is now on a 4-game losing streak, while they lost 5 of their last 6 games, and it seems their good form from the first half of the season is fully gone. The good news for Vallecano is they are far away from the relegation zone, in 11^th place with 31 points. Vallecano is not great in the attacking end, and they have scored only 28 goals, but their defense was pretty good with 29 conceded goals in 24 games. Falcao and Garica are leading goalscorers for Rayo with 5 goals each, while Trejo has added 8 assists. There are no injuries in Rayo as of right now. I think Rayo can be happy with their season so far, and if they can stay in this spot, I think they would be very satisfied with it.

Real Madrid is still at the top of the table with 57 points, but Sevilla is only 6 points behind them, and they need the win to stay there. With 20 conceded goals, Real Madrid is one of the best defensive teams in the league, while they are also the best offensive team with 51 goals. In their last LaLiga game, Real Madrid has beaten Alaves at home, but it took them a lot to score those goals. Real Madrid is facing PSG in the Champions League next week, and they are playing at home, but PSG is a tough team to beat. Real Madrid is a good team, they don’t have any injuries, and they are scoring a lot. Benzema was injured for a little while for Real Madrid, and he isn’t back in his old goalscoring form just yet. Speaking of Benzema, he is still the leading goalscorer for Real with 18 goals and 8 assists. Vinicius has added 13 goals and 5 assists. I think we could also expect a bit of a mixed lineup from Real Madrid here, but even like that they should be good enough to win this game.

Rayo is on a big losing streak, but I think that is bound to end soon. Real is focused on the Champions League next week, but they also need a win here. I think Rayo will get on the scoreboard here, but so will Real Madrid.
