Rayo Vallecano vs Cadiz Prediction and Betting Tips | March 2nd 2024
Two sides who could do well with a win square off in round 27 of the Spanish La Liga as Rayo Vallecano play host to Cadiz on Saturday.
Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have failed to win their last six competitive visits to the Estadio de Vallecas and will head into the weekend looking to end this 15-year spell.
Rayo Vallecano continued to struggle for results in the bottom half of the La Liga table as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Girona last Monday.
Inigo Perez’s side have now failed to taste victory in eight consecutive games across all competitions, losing six and picking up two draws since January’s 1-0 win over Huesca in the Copa del Rey.
With 25 points from 26 matches, Rayo Vallecano are currently 14th in the La Liga table, one point above 15th-placed Sevilla.
Cadiz, on the other hand, fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla last time out.
With that result, Pellegrino’s men have gone 15 consecutive matches without a win, losing seven and claiming eight draws since a 2-0 friendly victory over Atlético Sanluqueno on November 16.
Cadiz have picked up 18 points from 26 La Liga matches so far to sit 18th in the league table, three points behind 17th-placed Celta Vigo just outside the relegation zone.
