Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Preview

Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Benito Villamarín

Date: 9th December 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Real Betis earned a morale boosting win at the Camp Nou some 4 match days ago and that has spurred them on to 2 wins from their last 4 games.

Their 2-1 loss at Villarreal is the only time they have failed to pick up a point in their last four games and they will be hoping for another win here that would help them towards finishing inside the top 6.

The home side have been good at the back recently and come into this game off the back of two consecutive clean sheets in La Liga and the Europa League.

Both games ended in 1-0 wins for them and their fans would hope that they can begin to score more goals as their defending gets better.

Rayo come into this game short of confidence, but they will still be looking to cause an upset over the 90 minutes.

They were beaten 1-0 at home by Leganes in their last league game and they need to start putting the results together otherwise they could be relegated from the division quicker than they think.

The last three meetings between these teams have produced a single win for each side and one draw.

Bookmakers have priced Betis up as strong odds-on favourites to come out on top here while goal markets suggest we will see goals at the Benito Villamarín.

Loren Moron is currently favourite with bookmakers to score the first goal.
