Real Madrid VS Rayo Vallecano

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-0 in favor of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will likely dominate possession and create numerous chances from wide areas through their fullbacks. Rayo Vallecano will employ compact defensive shape and counter-attacking strategy. Historical h2h data shows 8 of last 9 meetings ended with 2 or fewer goals, suggesting defensive solidity from visiting team despite quality gap.
Real Madrid's dominant home record, superior attacking personnel, and Rayo Vallecano's poor form and low scoring average strongly favor the hosts. However, the previous goalless draw and Rayo's defensive organization prevent a highly confident prediction of large margins.
