Real Madrid vs Rayo Valecano

An entertaining local derby is on the cards at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with Real Madrid being eager to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and preserve their perfect home record this season. Los Blancos created an impressive 3.46 xG against Betis, although Kylian Mbappe’s missed penalty ultimately proved costly. Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Guler are all available again after serving Champions League bans, giving Jose Mourinho further options.

Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, head into the local derby on the back of a 3-2 victory over Racing Santander. However, their away record remains a concern, with just a 29% win rate across their last 10 matches and 2.29 goals conceded per game. Rayo have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those away fixtures. Real Madrid have won 16 of their 22 previous meetings, while 55% of those encounters produced over 2.5 goals.

Considering Real Madrid's superior quality and a dominant H2H record, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Real Madrid/Real Madrid, alongside Mbappe to Score and Real Madrid -1.5.
