Rayo Vallecano vs Shkendija Prediction & Tips
Rayo Vallecano has started the LaLiga season on the wrong foot: just one win in seven games and a five-match winless streak. Iñigo Pérez’s team is struggling in both attack and defence, scoring few goals and conceding regularly. However, in the Conference League qualifying round, the Madrid side showed another side to their game, dominating Neman (5-0 on aggregate). Returning to Europe after a 25-year absence is a great incentive, and Rayo will try to take advantage of the support of their fans.
The visitors from Tetovo have already gone through the Europa League qualifying phase, where they lost to Ludogorets, but they showed character and the ability to compete against higher-level opponents. For Shkëndija, reaching the Conference League group stage is a major achievement, and the team has no intention of settling for the role of underdog. Given Rayo’s crisis, their confidence could be a key factor.
