• Competition: Spain - La Liga
• Date: Thursday, 15th, May 2025
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)

Matchday 36 in La Liga brings a clash of European hopefuls as Rayo Vallecano host Real Betis at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas on Thursday.

The relentless effort and fighting spirit shown by Los Franjirrojos during Friday’s away clash finally paid dividends as Alvaro Garcia’s well-placed strike in the 66th minute proved to be the knockout blow that downed Las Palmas and kept his team’s European hopes alive.

On their end, Real Betis slipped up in their pursuit of a Champions League berth as they were held to a disappointing home draw against Osasuna, a result that leaves them still trailing Villarreal by three points in the increasingly tight race for a top-five finish.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Betting Tips : BTTS

As both teams aim to strengthen their bids for UEFA competition spots, this matchup has the makings of a free-flowing encounter where goals at both ends feel likely due to the offensive mindset. They may rank as the least prolifict attack inside the top eight teams in the LaLiga table with just 37 goals in 35 matches, but Rayo Vallecano's front line has been almost unstoppable at home, having failed to hit the net in only two of their 17 appearances at the El Campo. With only three clean sheets at home throughout the current campaign, the Madrid outskirts outfit have clearly struggled to keep things tight at the back, which hardly bodes well ahead of a visit from a Betis side brimming with attacking flair and cutting edge. Although Los Verdiblancos have looked somewhat shaky at the back, their attacking instincts have remained razor-sharp as they’ve found the net in all but one of their last 15 away outings across all competitions, showing just how dangerous they can be going forward. Another important angle to consider is that recent head-to-heads between these rivals have produced plenty of fireworks with BTTS landing in nine of the last eleven meetings, so we genuinely think there’s solid justification for expecting another end-to-end showdown especially given the data above and the fact that both sides are chasing vital three-point hauls in their bids for European qualification.
