Rayo Vallecano vs. Alavés

Quick read:

Backing Alavés on the moneyline is a straightforward call given Rayo Vallecano’s inconsistency in finding the back of the net. When goals are hard to come by for the home side, the visitors’ steady defense becomes a real asset.
Alavés has shown a knack for keeping games tight, which plays well against a Rayo team that hasn’t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard lately. The visitors’ ability to frustrate opponents could be the difference in a match where goals are at a premium.
The risk, as always, is that Rayo could find an unexpected spark in front of their home crowd, but the odds here offer enough value to justify taking the chance on Alavés pulling off a low-key win.
