Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Tips
Real Madrid come in as massive favourites for this game at around the 1/4 mark. They’re expected to win this very comfortably and are likely to score a fair few goals and if that is the case, expect Vinicius Jr to be amongst those on the scoresheet.
Vinicius Jr has only two league goals to his name this season with Jude Bellingham being their main scoring threat at the moment, but I still fancy him to be scoring here. The Brazilian is around the 5/4 mark to score with SkyBet whereas with Bet365 he is priced at under even money to get a goal anytime.
Last season Vini Jr scored 23 goals and the season before that he had 22 goals. He is an incredibly good goalscorer and is just in a quiet patch at the moment. 5/4 seems like a great price when you consider how favoured Madrid are for this matchup.
Next up is a look at the player to be carded market and we have Kike Perez to be carded. It was hard to side with a Madrid player to be carded when you consider that they are more likely to have the most possession in this game.
Rayo Vallecano are going to be chasing the ball for the majority of the game here and that has led us to siding with Kike Perez to be carded. The midfielder is averaging the most fouls per game for Rayo Vallecano at 2.4.
When you consider that they will be chasing the ball a lot and that he is clearly not afraid to go for a few tackles, I think 2/1 is a great price for him to be carded. He will most likely be tasked with stopping a few counter-attacks and with Bellingham being his opponent this game, he very well could be in the books for a bad challenge.
