Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Prediction
On paper, Vallecano have had a better run in recent weeks than Betis and may seem like the favourites to win. The visitors, though, have a top squad with the potential to hurt Vallecano. Considering the same, the two teams could cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
