Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Preview

Celta Vigo will be without their two main strikers Douvikas and Iago Aspas, which should affect their efficiency. Four of their last six h2h games against Rayo were goalless draws, so I am backing under 2.5 goals on Friday.

Verdict

Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo

All of Celta’s December games were low-scoring affairs and they have their two key strikers injured. Five of the last six head to head meetings between these sides have seen under 2.5 goals, so this is my top suggestion for Friday’s clash.
