Rayo Vallecano vs Alaves Tips & Live Stream – Honours Even in La Liga
Alaves have maintained an unbeaten streak through preseason and continued their good form by defeating Getafe in the opening round of La Liga. However, they historically have found it challenging to perform well in away games. Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano looked shaky in their first match and won’t be playing at their usual home in Vallecas. Given these factors, a draw is predicted as the most likely outcome, suggesting that neither side goes in with a clear advantage and both teams may end up sharing points.

Rayo Vallecano can’t play their home games in Vallecas for months, and they struggled hard in pre-season friendlies and round one clash in Sevilla. This said, I don’t view them as favorites against Alaves, a draw being likely outcome.

Rayo Edge H2H
These two sides locked horns 43 times so far and Rayo Vallecano have a 20-17 advantage in terms of victories, six games ending without a winner.
Rayo Chasing Their First Points
Rayo Vallecano started the new season under new leadership, replacing Inigo Perez with Benat San Jose earlier this summer.
Their results in preparation matches were not great, registering defeats against Hearts 2-1, Feyenoord 2-1 and Ipswich 3-0, while the sole win came against Charleroi 3-2.
The Red Sashes’ first official match this season was last Friday, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla on the road. Alvaro Garcia put them ahead here after just four minutes, while Alemao and Randy Nteka missed big chances to double the lead.
Alaves Sitting Top of the Table
Alaves had an amazing start to the new La Liga campaign, claiming a commanding 3-0 home victory against Getafe last weekend, but the opposition had one player sent off just before half time when the score was 0-0.
Mariano Diaz was player of the match, scoring the second goal while also adding two assists to his name.
The Vitoria side barely avoided relegation in the previous season, finishing in 14th place just one point above the red zone. Games on the road were quite problematic, suffering 11 defeats in 19 games.

Verdict
Alaves didn’t lose a single pre-season game while beating Getafe in La Liga round one clash last weekend. They did struggle on the road last season, but Rayo are not playing in Vallecas and struggled in the opener, so I am predicting a draw here.
