Prediction: 2-1
Rayo Vallecano
Real Madrid will be looking to stay in the title race when they take on Rayo Vallecano in a local derby. Los Blancos are eyeing their eleventh home win of the process, but this one seems like a must-win one. Key midfielder Jude Bellingham returns from suspension, while Uruguay ace Fede Valverde has overcome his injury. The likes of Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, and Jesus Vallejo remain in the treatment room.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Sevilla at the weekend without star forward Isi Palazon. As Isi continues to miss out with injury, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, Jorge de Frutos misses out through suspension. Last time out, the two teams played out a goalless draw at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, but home win should be considered this time out.
