Additional Betting Tips

After thorough analysis of the past data, our team of experts has come up with additional predictions for the match.

Keep in mind that the prediction on the top of the page is our main tip. In case you are looking for more value picks, you can use our additional predictions below.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.

👉 Our prediction is: Rayo Vallecano win or draw

Our top betting tip is Rayo Vallecano to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Rayo Vallecano, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Rayo Vallecano losing to Athletic. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Rayo Vallecano's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
