Alaves

Given Alaves' recent return to the elite ranks, setting lofty objectives seems unwarranted; the primary focus should be on consolidating their position among the elite. The team is currently safe from relegation, occupying the 13th spot with a comfortable 7-point gap from the danger zone. In their last fixture, Alaves suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Osasuna, conceding the sole goal towards the end of the match. The team has failed to win in five consecutive matches, garnering a mere three points during this period.

Rayo Vallecano

Expectations were higher for the giants this season, as the team appeared to be a decent mid-table contender. Presently, the club sits in sixth place in La Liga, with only a 4-point cushion above the relegation zone. In their last match, they failed to secure a victory at home against one of the underdogs, Cadiz, conceding an equalizer in the 90+12 minute after taking the lead in the 88th minute. This extends their winless streak to eight matches, indicative of a significant crisis. Urgent victories are imperative to restore confidence, lest they risk relegation from the elite division altogether.

Notable Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• In the first-round fixture, Rayo Vallecano managed a 2-0 victory at home.
• Alaves' home performances have been inconsistent, with five wins, as many losses, and three draws.
• Rayo Vallecano has suffered defeat in their last three away matches, despite having an equal number of losses in 11 previous away fixtures.

Alaves vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Both teams have been struggling to secure victories lately, thus a thrilling encounter is not anticipated. It is more likely that both adversaries will adopt a cautious approach, prioritizing defensive solidity. The bookmakers slightly favor the home team. Given these circumstances, a wager on under 2.5 goals appears reasonable.
