Alaves vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Tips
Mendizorroza is hosting one of the First Division matches in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, in which Alavés and Rayo Vallecano will play a single match for a place in the quarterfinals. It promises to be an exciting encounter, as only three points separate the two teams in the league table.
Alavés, in sixteenth place, has 19 points, and Rayo, in tenth, has 22 points. Considering that the Vitoria-based team performs better when playing at home and that the Madrid-based team struggles away from home, the match promises to be very, very evenly matched.
The Alavés team is not in the best shape going into the match, having recorded three defeats and one draw in its last four league games. That draw came at home against bottom-of-the-table Oviedo (1-1). Rayo has a particular problem scoring away from home. Suffice it to say that in their last four league games away from Vallecas, they failed to score in any of them, losing three and drawing one without scoring.
