Rayo Vallecano vs Betis prediction 15.12.2025 | La Liga

After a very good last season, Rayo Vallecano are on the course for another solid campaign. They are currently mid-table and, what is most essential, Inigo Perez's team seems too good to be involved in the relegation battle. However, Rayo Vallecano didn't play well lately as they won only two matches in the previous seven games. One of the victories came in the most recent outing, when Perez's team won 2-1 on the road in the Conference League against Jagiellonia. That game was far from easy, and it wouldn't be undeserved if the home side picked at least one point.

After a win in Poland, Rayo Vallecano's head coach, Inigo Perez, was ecstatic. He said, "We are very happy with the victory. We deserved to win. The first half hour was excellent, and there was little more we could do about their goal. In the second half, far from being intimidated by the atmosphere and their good play, we could have scored a few more goals. The victory is an explosion of happiness. It was well-deserved for the match and for our virtual qualification."

Rayo Vallecano's Unai Lopez received a red card in the previous La Liga round and will not play on Monday night. Also, Alemao, Oscar Trejo, Abdul Mumin, Diego Mendez, Pedro Diaz, and Alemao are out due to injuries.

The Champions League remains a dream for Betis, but at least they have been almost regularly among the top six in La Liga in recent years. They are on course for a similar 2025/26 season. The last few weeks were excellent for Betis as they lost only one of the last ten matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Manuel Pellegrini's team won 3-1 on the road against Dinamo Zagreb. The guests' excellent first half was enough for an easy win in Croatia.

Betis' head coach Manuel Pellegrini was very pleased after a victory against Dinamo Zagreb. He commented, "I think we played a very complete match. We controlled the pace of the game in the first half and gained a significant advantage. In the second half, we slowed down because we had played a lot of matches. I am very pleased with the maturity of the team."

Betis have some problems with missing players, too. They will be without Isco, Junior Firpo, Hector Bellerin, and Sofyan Amrabat in the upcoming clash.
