2014-2015 La Liga Predictions: Week 16 (Part 3)
Rayo Vallecano vs. Espanyol
Match Date: 20 December 2014 (local time)
Venue: Vallecas
Rayo Vallecano’s 3-0 loss to Valencia explains their drop in the league table. The defeat happened to be its 2nd consecutive loss, which is why it wasn’t able to hold on to their previous rank. Nevertheless, they have the home court advantage to exploit against the online bettingfavorite, Espanyol.
Speaking of Espanyol, its current form is a bit similar to that of Rayo. The only difference is that they’ve only lost thrice. The club now occupies the 11th spot of the league table, thanks to that win over Granada.
Prediction
Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Espanyol
Villarreal vs. Deportivo La Coruna
Match Date: 21 December 2014 (local time)
Venue: El Madrigal
Playing in El Madrigal generates a new sense of self-confidence for Villarreal that will readily help them impose their rank in Primera Division. There’s no reason for the club to be afraid of their upcoming opponent. Aside from the fact that they have a better rank in the top-flight league, their present form also speaks of their great strength. To note, the football bettingfavorite won its last 4 matches. The most recent one was against Atletico Madrid, which is a definite no pushover in the league.
Considering how they’ve managed to overcome such feat, it will be definitely hard for Deportivo to match their opponent’s strength. It has only won once in its last 6 matches. Two (2) of them ended in a draw, while the remaining battles ended in three (3) losses. Apparently, this kind of team form is something that will prevent them form snatching the three (3) points.
Prediction
Villarreal 2-0 Deportivo La Coruna
