Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Betting tips
Celta de Vigo can work towards the last round of play in La Liga with confidence, because the team can hardly miss the safe seventeenth place. Earwashing in own Balaidos against the already degraded Rayo Vallecano could still cause problems for Iago Aspas and associates.
Celta de Vigo:
Celta de Vigo can breathe relief, because despite the 3-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao last weekend, the Galicians are virtually assured of body preservation. The blue shirts are three points above Girona, and also have a much better goal balance than the Catalans (-9 versus -15). Only if Celta de Vigo loses well on the final day and at the same time Girona manages to win well, the safe seventeenth place could still be endangered. Trainer Fran Escriba did not want to count rich last weekend, but he also realized that this should of course not go wrong: “It is not over yet, but we are now very close to preservation.”
Celta de Vigo will have a point against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday night anyway, and may not want to take too much risk. Attack leader Iago Aspas, however, will do everything in his power to pick up one or more goals in the final round. The striker is on course for his third Trophy Zarra in a row, the prize for the most scoring Spaniard of the Primera Division. Aspas was eighteen times accurate in this football season, once more often than close attacker Borja Iglesias (Espanyol). Aspas spent three months this season in the rag basket, which means that he has been on the field for more than 800 minutes less than his direct competitor. Aspas and his team mates can count on the support of a full Balaidos. To thank the fans for their support, Celta de Vigo has lowered its admission prices once, so that you can get a ticket for just ten euros.
Rayo Vallecano:
Rayo Vallecano made her comeback in La Liga this season, but with only 31 points from 37 rounds of play, the Madrid team failed to keep their heads above water. Celta de Vigo-out means for the time being the last trick of Los Rayistas in the Spanish royal class, because after the summer we see them again in the Segunda Division.
Due to the imminent relegation, the future of Rayo Vallecano is shrouded. Many players, including club top scorer Raul de Tomas, have been hired and will most likely play their last game in the red and white of the Madrid players on Saturday night. Trainer Paco Jemez will remain loyal to the team in any case, and will therefore mainly use the last round of this season to see who can still be of value in the Vallecas next year. Furthermore, it could just be that he lets some young talent smell the real thing, since the club’s budget will have to be adjusted downwards.
