👉 Our prediction is: AEK Athens win or draw

The home team is usually a safe bet in the Double Chance market, and that is no different in the upcoming match. Our top tip is to bet a AEK Athens win or draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Our analysis of AEK Athens points to them being the superior side, which is why they have a strong chance to win the match outright. And with the added benefit of needing only a draw at home against Rayo Vallecano, their chances of cashing in the 1X Double Chance bet grow even stronger.

👉 Our prediction is: Rayo Vallecano to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Rayo Vallecano likely coming out on top away from home. Rayo Vallecano has simply been the superior team this season, whereas AEK Athens has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Rayo Vallecano to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.
