Real Valladolid vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14, 2023

Real Valladolid will welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla in La Liga on Saturday (January 14).

Valladolid have 17 points from a possible 48 after 16 games. They sit in 15th spot ahead of their ninth league game at home. They lost their last home game to Real Madrid 2-0, but that was not the only recent setback they have suffered.

Pucela / Pucelanos lost their next two games to Alaves 1-0 and Mallorca 1-0. They could be overtaken by four other teams if they lose on Saturday. Valladolid hope to avoid the drop after earning promotion to La Liga last season, but that will only happen if they stop dropping points.

Vallecano, meanwhile, have settled down in the top ten after a bit of turbulence in the early stage of their campaign. The visitors are in ninth place with 23 points after 16 games. After finishing 12th last season, coach Andoni Iraola is eying a top-five finish and continental football.

However, Los Franjirrojos have been inconsistent and are winless in three outings, losing their previous game 2-1 to Real Betis. Vallecano's forward battery has been misfiring despite the presence of seasoned campaigners such as Sergio Camello (five goals), Isi Palazon (four) and Alvaro García (three).
