Villarreal to win

Villarreal are in decent enough shape to make them the value bet, when facing Rayo Vallecano. In their current form, we find it difficult to build an argument for the visitors to steal a point here.

Under 2.5

Rayo Vallecano could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica on Monday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.

BTTS: Yes

Both Villarreal and visitors Rayo Vallecano seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
