Real Madrid are in exceptional form under Jose Mourinho and have a strong record when playing Rayo Vallecano at home. Vallecano, struggling on the road this season and without their creative star Jorge de Frutos, are at a significant disadvantage. Experts recommend backing a home win to nil for Real Madrid, given their superiority and Vallecano’s recent struggles.

Rayo Vallecano are having a rough start to the new season and will miss one of their best players Jorge de Frutos due to a suspension. I am backing Real Madrid to win without conceding. 

Key Stats  


  • Real Madrid have won their last 6 home matches. 
  • Real Madrid have won 14 of their last 15 home matches against Rayo Vallecano. 
  • Rayo Vallecano have lost their last 2 away matches. 

Los Blancos Dominate H2H 


These two clubs locked horns 48 times so far and Real Madrid have won 34 encounters, Rayo Vallecano earning seven victories. 

Real Madrid Slipped Last Weekend in Sevilla 


Real Madrid's La Liga performances were fantastic in August, claiming three straight victories against Espanyol 2-1, Real Sociedad 4-1 and Malaga 4-0. 

Jose Mourinho's side dominated pitch in the fourth round clash against Betis in Sevilla, had 3.46 expected goals and 20-10 shots, yet lost the encounter 1-0. Kylian Mbappe missed three huge chances to score, Vinicius Junior also wasting two great opportunities. 

Los Blancos returned to winning ways in mid-week UCL action, beating Inter Milan 2-1 at home, Mbappe and Federico Valverde on target. 

Rayo Not Doing Great Under New Manager


Rayo Vallecano have been entertaining to watch this season in La Liga, all four games ending with BTTS, but grabbed just four points and sit middle of the table. 

They appointed Benat San Jose earlier this summer and he had a rocky start, losing 2-1 to Sevilla in the first round, followed by a 1-1 draw against Alaves and a 5-2 defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou. 

The Red Sashes finally found their first win of the season last weekend, beating Racing Santander 3-2 at home. Sergio Camello delivered an outstanding performance, scoring a brace and providing one assist.

Real Madrid (4-2-1-3) Thibaut Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dean Huijsen, Fran Garcia; Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga; Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappe

Verdict

Real Madrid are looking strong under Jose Mourinho and traditionally perform great against Rayo at Bernabeu. Vallecano lost both of their road games this season and will miss their most creative player Jorge de Frutos, so a home win to nil is the best bet.
