Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano prediction 2024-04-28
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Almeria, Villarreal will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Rayo Vallecano in the La Liga round 33. The Yellow Submarine are eyeing a top-seven finish and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s encounter. Both Santi Comesana and Raul Albiol are back from suspensions, whilst there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, are on the right track to secure yet another La Liga survival. The capital club recorded a very important 2-1 win over Osasuna at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Villarreal. As the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are going to place our bets on Marcelino’s men this time out.
Prediction: 1-0 (Villarreal)
