Real Madrid vs. Rayo Vallecano 11/6/21 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Real Marid is hosting Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabeu in round 13 of the Spanish LaLiga. Real Madrid is doing well this season, they are close to the top, and they are playing well in the Champions League. Rayo has been one of the nicest surprises in LaLiga this season, and even though they are not scoring a lot, their defense has been solid.

Real Madrid has scored an impressive 26 goals in 11 games so far this season, and Benzema is their leading goalscorer with 9 goals and 7 assists, and he should be ready to play in this game. In their Champions League game earlier this week, Real Madrid was playing against Shakhtar Donetsk at home, and they were solid with 54% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and a high 92% of the correct passes. With 1 scored goal in each half, both from Benzema, Real Madrid has won this game 2-1. In LaLiga, Real is in second place with 24 points, only 1 point behind Real Sociedad, but Real Madrid also has 1 game less at the moment. There are a few injured players in Real Madrid right now, but none of them are starters, and I think we can expect another great game from Real Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano has been impressive so far this season, and even though they are not scoring as much as Real Madrid does, they have scored more than Barcelona! Rayo’s defense has been pretty solid with only 12 conceded goals so far this season. in their last LaLiga game against Celta at home, Rayo was the better team with 53% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, and 71% of the correct passes. Rayo was failed by their offense in this game, but they were able to get a positive result out of it. The final score was 0-0. Falcao and Garcia have each scored 4 goals for Rayo Vallecano this season. the schedule is decent for Rayo after the international break, and if they can keep playing this well defensively, they will get enough points to stay far away from the relegation zone, and they might also stay close to the Conference League this season.

Real Madrid is still undefeated at home this season, and the trends in this matchup are on their side. Real Madrid also hasn’t lost to Rayo in their last 11 home games, and I don’t think they will start now. Both teams are in solid form, but Real is the better team here.
