Alicante - Vallecano
26.04 18:00
According to the current standings, Alicante no longer have chances of staying in Segunda. After 33 rounds, they are behind by as many as 11 points to the first team above the relegation zone, so a win in this match can only give them some very slim hopes. But they will very hardly get it and that’s what they’re aware of themselves. It’s clear this team isn’t giving up judging by their recent results and they will be going all or nothing until the last round, but they have been miserable at their home pitch. They’re known to be one of the worst hosts in the league with only 9 points won at home. Against in-form Vallecano, they won’t have injured Rafa Jorda and suspended Alan Baro available. Alicante’s players are saying they aren’t going to face Vallecano with a white flag but they single them out as big favs, still believing they will somehow find the way to surprise them.
Serious promotion candidates
Rayo Vallecano are one of the most serious promotion candidates. In the last round they proved how serious they are when they defeated Celta in one very tough match by 4:1. Now they’re traveling to Alicante with a huge dose of optimism, wanting all three points and to continue their terrific series of results. They are known to be one of the best visitors in the league and will have to use that fact as they’re traveling to supposedly the easiest away game in this season. I have no doubts over Vallecano’s quality and their players believe they won’t have an easy task away at Alicante, who will have to use their full power in order to save them from relegation. However, Rayo will try to use their every mistake, and again outplay them and eventually get an easy win. I’m excited by the fact they don’t fall under pressure easily and that they know how to handle situations where they’re set as huge favs. That will be the case today and I expect another good display by the guests.
A clash of teams with different goals
In the clash of two teams with completely different ambitions, the advantage should always be given to the team with bigger ones. Alicante are struggling to keep their Segunda status, and will have to fight very hard to save it, but I’m convinced they have already relegated. Rayo Vallecano want to promote to Primera, playing fantastic football and their whole team is in excellent mood so all that is making me bet on the away win which I’m very sure of. The guests are no joke, it’s a serious club and I believe they will demonstrate that in this game as well.
Tip: Vallecano, Odds 2.2
