Sunday afternoon game at the Ceramic Stadium, Villarreal-Rayo Vallecano, where we go for the 3 or more goals in the total of the match.
It will be a match between two direct rivals in the fight for the goal of remaining in the First Division next season. Villarreal, after winning at Levante last Sunday by 0-2, knew how to take advantage of Celta’s defeat to leave the relegation and placed 17th, although it has the descent to a point. Rayo fell at the Camp Nou after advancing on the scoreboard (3-1), but is still 19th with 23 points. We see that the difference between both teams is only 3 points.
Both teams have the same goals scored in 27 games, some 29 goals (1.07 goals / game), while Villarreal (35) have 13 goals less than Rayo (48).
Being a game of winning yes or yes for both teams, I expect a round trip, taking advantage of the speed of Raul de Tomás, Chukwueze or Toko Ekambi among others. The 3-5-2 of Calleja Villarreal leads to the numerical superiority in attack, while the contras by Rayo against the 3 central Villarreal may be the strong point of the whole of Vallecas, so he did at the Camp Nou and got annotate.
The Lightning strikes 5 consecutive meetings scoring away from home (Valladolid, Alavés, Espanyol, Getafe and Barcelona), conceding 2 and 3 goals against the last three teams. Villarreal, meanwhile, of their last 5 games as crazy, has received a goal in 4 of them, while keeping the goal to 0 against Sevilla, where there were 3 goals (3-0). Ante Alavés (1-2) and Espanyol (2-2) went over our line, while Athletic (1-1) and Sporting Lisbon (1-1) were 1 goal away.
I think we will see a round trip taking advantage of the speed of the top men of both teams, which is good for this pick.
In addition, the Lightning I think that can take advantage of the wear that may have Villarreal after the Europa League meeting on Thursday against Zenit.
PREDICTION: Villarreal to win @ 1,63
