Rayo Vallecano enjoy home advantage, when visitors Celta Vigo swing by this coming Saturday for a clash in the LaLiga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Placed 16th in the table Rayo Vallecano have amassed nine points after nine matches. On 12 points, Celta Vigo rank nineth with nine matches played this season.

Although only separated by a few points, Celta Vigo will have their work cut out for them on Saturday. Rayo Vallecano are favoured to maintain the lead they currently hold on Celta Vigo in the LaLiga standings.

Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Rayo Vallecano Form

In the previous three games, Rayo Vallecano drew 1-1 with Osasuna, lost 1-1 against Getafe and 0-3 against Elche. Rayo Vallecano claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the LaLiga. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored nine and conceded eight goals.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Rayo Vallecano would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Celta Vigo Form

Celta Vigo look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining two victories and a draw. They ran out 2-1 and 1-2 winners against Deportivo Alaves and Celtic, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Real Betis, as the match resulted in a 0-0 draw. Celta Vigo managed to win just once in their past six away games in the LaLiga. On top of winning once they also drew five as well as losing zero, while scoring two time and letting in three.

Celta Vigo were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the LaLiga.

Rayo Vallecano might be favourites, but their current form doesn't cut it for us, at least not compared with the prices on offer at the bookmakers. We would rather take a shot at Celta Vigo to nick a point or perhaps even a win.

Celta Vigo recorded zero wins from their last four games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected four points. They scored two goals while conceding two. Rayo Vallecano are looking at a record of two wins, three draws and four defeats in the LaLiga this season. Celta Vigo are looking at two wins, six draws and two defeats in the LaLiga.
