Villarreal CF vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction 18 December 2024
Added on 16 December, 2024
A rescheduled La Liga Round 12 match between Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano is set for Wednesday.
Villarreal recently dismantled Alaves 3-0 but faltered afterward with draws against Osasuna (2-2) and Girona (2-2) and a loss to Atletico (0-2). These setbacks have dropped the Yellow Submarine to fifth place with 26 points and a 27:25 goal difference, a position still aligned with their European ambitions.
Rayo Vallecano occupies a modest twelfth place with 19 points and a 15:16 goal tally. Their recent 1-0 win over Valencia brought some relief after losses to Las Palmas (1-3), Sevilla (0-1), and Atletico (1-2). Interestingly, both teams have shown better form in away games this season.
Given Villarreal's recent struggles and Rayo's resilience, the match promises to be a tightly contested affair, with the visitors well-positioned to exploit the hosts' dip in form.
