Rayo Vallecano - Real Madrid (Primera Division)

Rayo Vallecano takes Real Madrid in a match of the 30th round of the Spanish Primera Division. The derby of Madrid will be on Wednesday (April 4th). One of the largest gaming sites bet365.com accepted ratio of 13.00 for the success of the home side, with a draw at 7.00, and the away win is just 1.20.

Rayo Vallecano is in the middle of the table in La Liga, on the ninth position with a total of 38 points. The team from Madrid has no specific targets and generally played out of the tournament, because it is far from the places entitling participation in Europe and struggling not to fall. Rayo Vallecano has won his last three matches in the championship. Successively were defeated the teams of Granada (3:1), Malaga (1:0) and SD Eibar (2:1). Out of the group for the match against the "Royal Club" is the striker Leo Baptistao and Raul Baena is questionable. Anyway, the goal machine Alberto Bueno will be the most serious danger in the home team. He is a teenager of the "white ballet" and will be self-mobilized to prove himself in this meeting, seeking his goal No 17 during the season.

Real Madrid is four points behind the leader in Primera Division - Barcelona. The battle between the two Spanish giants will be relentless and will surely be till the last round. "White Ballet" has no right of mistakes along the way to the title; each lost point can put them away from the Catalan eternal rival. The loss in "El Clasico" two weeks ago is already forgotten. This was demonstrated in the defeat with 9:1 over the weekend team of Granada. Cristiano Ronaldo scored five goals in this match and showed that regained his best shape. In the camp of Real Madrid Pepe has an injury and Gareth Bale is questionable, but even cure is most likely to remain on the bench, because of his weak performance in the recent meetings. Among the absentees will be defender Alvaro Arbeola, who is punished.

Real Madrid is the undisputed favorite in this match; "Royal Club" has ten wins against Rayo Vallecano in the last meetings. Forecast Half Time/Full Time for Real Madrid does not seem a bad option to bet on this match.

Recommended bet: Half Time/Full Time (2/2) @ 1.53 at bet365
