Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis

Current streaks

Recent form

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano have shown a remarkable turnaround in their recent form, securing back-to-back victories after a difficult spell. Despite sitting 8th in La Liga, their last six matches have been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team's defensive vulnerabilities were notably exposed in a 4-0 thrashing by RCD Espanyol, which marked the start of a three-match losing streak. However, Rayo have since bounced back, keeping clean sheets in their last two outings. Their goal-scoring has been a concern, netting only 0.67 goals per game in this period, but they've tightened up at the back in their recent wins. The stark contrast between their 3-0 loss to Atlético de Madrid and their subsequent 1-0 victories highlights Rayo's inconsistency, yet suggests they may be finding their feet as the season progresses.

Real Betis

Real Betis have been in impressive form recently, securing four consecutive victories before drawing their last two matches. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with the team scoring an impressive 15 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.5 goals per match. The standout performance came in their 5-1 thrashing of Real Valladolid, showcasing their offensive capabilities. Defensively, however, Betis have been somewhat vulnerable, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. Their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six encounters. Currently sitting in 6th position in La Liga, Betis' recent form suggests they are pushing hard for European qualification, with their goal-scoring form likely to be crucial in achieving this aim.

Recent home/away form

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency. They have managed only one win in their last six home matches, drawing three and losing two. Notably, their most recent home game saw them secure a narrow 1-0 victory against Getafe, breaking a winless streak at home. The standout match in this period was their heavy 4-0 defeat to RCD Espanyol, which significantly impacted their goal difference. Rayo Vallecano have been struggling to find the back of the net, scoring just five goals in six games, with an average of 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat shaky, conceding nine goals in total, although they did manage to keep a clean sheet in their latest home fixture. The majority of their home games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring encounters at their stadium.

Real Betis

Real Betis have shown impressive form away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. The Andalusian side have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times across these fixtures for an average of 2 goals per game. Notably, both teams have scored in all six matches, highlighting Betis' attacking prowess but also their defensive vulnerabilities. Their most recent away victory against Girona (3-1) stands out as a high-scoring encounter, as does their 3-2 win over Leganés. With 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals, Betis have been providing entertainment for neutral fans. However, the lack of clean sheets in this run suggests there's room for improvement defensively, despite their positive goal difference of +4 across these six away fixtures.
