Rayo Vallecano's recent form suggests a team struggling to find the net, with only one goal scored in their last five matches. However, their solid defensive performances, particularly at home, could pose a challenge for Real Betis. The absence of A. Mumin might not significantly impact their backline, but their attack will need to step up against a Betis side that has shown both offensive flair and defensive vulnerabilities.
Real Betis, on the other hand, have been more potent in front of goal, scoring nine times in their last five games. Their recent victories and draws indicate a team capable of both high-scoring games and tight contests. With key players like Antony and Cucho Hernández in form, Betis could exploit Rayo's defensive resilience, but they must be wary of complacency against a team that can grind out results.
Rayo Vallecano's recent form has been inconsistent, with three draws and two losses in their last five matches. Their inability to score more than one goal in this period suggests a lack of cutting edge up front, which could undermine their confidence going into this match. However, their defensive solidity, particularly in home games, might provide a foundation for a competitive performance.
Recent La Liga Results:
Real Betis have shown a more dynamic form, securing two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five outings. Their ability to score consistently, with nine goals in these matches, indicates a team in good attacking shape. This form should boost their confidence and momentum as they face Rayo Vallecano, although their defensive lapses, as seen in the loss to Barcelona, need addressing.
Recent La Liga Results:
The head-to-head record between Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis shows a closely contested rivalry, with the last five meetings resulting in two wins for Real Betis, two draws, and one win for Rayo. The most recent encounter ended in a 2-2 draw, suggesting both teams are capable of scoring against each other. Historically, the matches have been competitive, with neither side dominating the other, which could set the stage for another tight contest.

Predicted lineup: Batalla (GK), Rațiu (DF), Lejeune (DF), Mendy (DF), Chavarría (DF), Valentín (MF), Gumbau (MF), Palazón (MF), Nteka (MF), Pérez (MF), De Frutos (AT)
Rayo Vallecano's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see them focus on a solid defensive structure with Rațiu and Chavarría providing width, while Gumbau and Valentín anchor the midfield. The attacking quartet of Nteka, Palazón, Pérez, and De Frutos will need to be more clinical to break down Real Betis's defence.
Real Betis's expected 4-2-3-1 setup will rely on the defensive stability of Bartra and Natan, with Ruibal and Gómez offering support on the flanks. The midfield duo of Altimira and Roca will look to control the game's tempo, allowing Antony, Fornals, and Ezzalzouli to create chances for Hernández up front.
De Frutos vs Bartra: Jorge de Frutos's pace and movement will test Marc Bartra's defensive positioning and experience.
Gumbau vs Altimira: Gerard Gumbau's control in midfield will be crucial against Sergi Altimira's energetic pressing.
Pérez (Rayo Vallecano): Fran Pérez's creativity and vision in midfield will be vital for Rayo Vallecano's attacking transitions.
Antony (Real Betis): Antony's ability to unlock defences with his passing and movement will be key for Real Betis's offensive strategy.
