Rayo Vallecano vs Espanyol
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas
Date: 28th September 2018
Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Espanyol will be looking to continue their good start to the season as they visit a struggling Rayo Vallecano side in this game.
Rayo come into this game off the back of an impressive 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad, but their season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan so far as they have collected just 4 points from their opening five games of the season.
Their only win so far has come against new boys Huesca, while they have lost their last two home games against Sevilla and Alaves, conceding 9 goals in those games and scoring just twice.
Their fans would be hopeful of a better showing in this game, but Espanyol are on form.
Espanyol head into this game 5th in the league table after collecting just 3 points less than league leaders Barcelona, although they have played a game more.
Their season has pretty much been inconsistent so far, but they have managed to secure 3 wins, 2 losses and a draw.
The Catalans have also continued their tradition of a strong defence this season as only one of their games this campaign has seen over 2.0 goals scored despite having already played Real Madrid, Celta Vigo, and Valencia.
All three of Espanyol’s wins have come at home this season while they have lost two of their three away games, so Rayo should be hopeful of getting a home win of their own in this game.
This game is the closest game of the week in terms of betting – both teams are separated by less than a quarter of a point so bookmakers aren’t quit sure how this one will go.
Goal markets suggest there could be goals as over 2.5 goals is currently a shade odds-on.
