La Liga Odds, Picks & Predictions for Matchday 7: Elche CF vs. Rayo Vallecano (10/3)
After losing to Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga two weeks ago by a score of 3-2, Rayo Vallecano is attempting to avoid a recurrence of their struggles here. The Andoni Iraola-led team has scored 7 goals overall in the last 12 games while giving up 8 over that same stretch.
Elche CF will be attempting to get back on track this match week after losing to Barcelona in their previous La Liga outing 3-0 in a game that was a mismatch from the outset.
Elche CF has scored just 2 goals in their previous 6 games, making it abundantly clear that they have not been effective in front of goal; just as they were not last season. It’s also worth noting Los Franjiverdes have had a total of 16 goals scored against them in those games. Elche CF had lost their previous five La Liga road games coming into this one.
I don’t expect this one to be particularly close either and I think this is a game Rayo can run away with early.
Pick: Rayo Vallecano (-135)
