Rayo Vallecano vs Eibar Prediction & Tips
If it is that Rayo Vallecano wants to avoid descending after only one season in LaLiga (LL), he should improve his performance as soon as possible. With no wins in their last 10 league games (E4, P6), Rayo is in the penultimate place in the standings and six points away from the relegation zone.
Rayo Vallecano has won just three of their seven points at home (E3, P4) and is still one of three teams that still can not win at home. 19 of the 28 goals he has received have come at home (the highest amount in the league) and each of his seven home games has ended with both teams scoring.
The famous 3-0 victory against Real Madrid on the previous day catapulted Eibar to ninth place in LL (G5, E3, P5), which also marked its third consecutive game without losing in LL (G2, E1). However, that victory was his first of the season by a margin greater than a goal, in addition to representing the third match of the season in which he leaves his goal unbeaten.
Although the Rayo has not reaped good results at home, Eibar usually has many problems as a visitor, where he has achieved only one victory so far this season (G1, E2, P3). With only four goals scored in their away games this season, only one team in LL has scored fewer goals as a visitor.
Players to watch: Raúl de Tomás Gómez has scored his four goals in LL with Rayo on home condition this season – three of them have arrived during the first half.
Gonzalo Escalante (EIB) scored his second goal of the season in last week’s game against Real, but he also scored when these two teams met for the last time in the 2015/16 season (1-1).
Statistics to consider: 33.33% of the 24 historic matches between them – since the 1956/57 season onwards – ended with a score of 1-0 (for either team), while 62.5% of them had less of 2.5 goals in total.
Rayo has not registered a goalless draw at home in their last 35 official matches.
The Eibar has been winning to the rest in only one occasion during the present campaign.
Barcelona is the only team from LL that averages more goals per game (totals) than Rays 3.23.
