Rayo Vallecano will be aiming to get back on course when they face Deportivo Alaves to Vallecas in La Liga round 2. The hosts suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in their season opener, despite producing 1.89 expected goals, and they will be eager to turn their promising attacking numbers into points. Marash Kumbulla and Luiz Felipe are both doubts through injury, which could leave Rayo slightly vulnerable at the back.
Alaves, meanwhile, made an excellent start to the new campaign, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Getafe. The Basques have been particularly solid defensively, conceding just 0.60 goals per game across their last 10 matches while keeping five clean sheets. They have also avoided defeat in their last six away games, picking up three wins and three draws. Nicolas Valentini returns from suspension and should provide another boost to the defence. However, Rayo have dominated this fixture recently, winning seven of the last 11 meetings, with Alaves claiming four victories.
As Rayo have won 7 of the last 11 H2H meetings, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Just 2 of the last 11 encounters produced more than two goals).
This Primera Division match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 20:00.
