Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-22 13:00.
[p]Bottom-of-the-table Real Oviedo are in desperate need of a positive result when they host a Rayo Vallecano side looking to keep in touch with the European places.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Oviedo’s emotional return to La Liga has quickly soured, as they’ve failed to win any of their last five league games (D2, L3). Four of those have come under new boss Luis Carrión (D2, L2), who has now gone winless in his 13 La Liga matches in charge of both Oviedo and Las Palmas, and could become just the second coach in competition history not to win any of his first 14 games! Oviedo desperately need him to break his duck here, but the omens appear to be against them as they’ve failed to score in their last three home league matches (D1, L2), earning just four points on their own turf all season (W1, D1, L4).[/p]
[p]Rayo Vallecano start the round in the bottom half of the table yet within striking distance of the European places having lost just one of their last five league outings (W3, D1). Iñigo Pérez’s side impressively held leaders Real Madrid to a goalless draw last time out, and although that marked a second successive failure to score in the league, the Red Sashes will take confidence from that result as they hit the road again here having earned nine of their 15 points this term on their travels (W3, L4).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first La Liga meeting between the sides since 2000/01, with Oviedo winning each of the last four in the top flight. Rayo have had the better of recent H2Hs, losing just one of the last seven across all competitions (W3, D3). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Pre-round, Oviedo have attempted fewer shots than any side in La Liga (101). [/p]
[p]Oviedo are yet to score at home after half-time in the league this term.[/p]
[p]Rayo have lost all four away league games they conceded first in this season.[/p]
[p]None of Rayo’s last 15 away league games ended level (W7, L8).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Oviedo’s Santiago Colombatto has been booked in three of his last four league appearances, two of which were in home games his side failed to score in. Jorge de Frutos could be an early threat for Rayo having seen five of his last six La Liga goals arrive before half-time.[/p]
[p]Santi Cazorla and Josip Brekalo look set to be sidelined for Oviedo, while Rayo have doubts over AlemĂŁo and Pedro DĂaz.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given Oviedo’s miserable form and the goal-shy nature of both sides, backing Rayo to win and under 2.5 goals seems a smart option here.[/p]
