Rayo Vallecano will host Real Betis at the Estadio de Vallecas in La Liga on Sunday (January 8), looking to extend their unbeaten run to eight games. Since their 3-1 loss to Almeria in October, the Red Sashes have drawn four times and won thrice in seven games to move to eighth in the standings with 23 points from 15 games.
Betis, meanwhile, have accrued two more points in the same number of games and sit two places above Vallecano in the standings. While their league form hasn’t been the best lately, winning just once in six games, Los Verdiblancos had no issues dispatching Ibiza Islas Pitiusas 4-1 in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Betis Prediction
On paper, Vallecano have had a better run in recent weeks than Betis and may seem like the favourites to win. The visitors, though, have a top squad with the potential to hurt Vallecano. Considering the same, the two teams could cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
