On August 4, their friendly meeting will be held Bournemouth - Rayo Vallecano. Prediction for the match between these clubs is made by Dailysports analysts.
Bournemouth
"Cherries" are trying to become their own in the elite of English soccer, last season the team spent in the APL, taking there the 12th line, but played poorly in the end, suffering three defeats in a row.
In the summer, Bournemouth played only two matches, first they could not beat Wrexham - 1:1, which last season won a trip to the third strongest English division. There was also a match against Arsenal, there too they played 1:1, but they lost to the opponent in a penalty shootout. It is important for Bournemouth to retain their status as a solid mid-table side in the English elite, we should not expect more.
Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano in Spain is about as mid-table as Bournemouth, they don't have many chances for the European Cup, but they are definitely stronger than the outsiders. The team had a weak last season in the domestic arena, taking only 17th line, the gap from the danger zone was 5 points.
The results of control matches this summer do not inspire optimism, played four matches, lost twice, and in two cases a draw was recorded. They lost to Guimarães and Heerenveen, and the world signed with Braga and Cordoba. In this form, it will be difficult to resist away against the English midfielder.
