Match Preview
Iñigo Pérez has turned the Campo de Vallecas into a fortress recently. Being unbeaten in six home games is no small feat in this league. Still, while they look solid at the back, that goal average of 0.78 at home is quite worrying for the local fans.
Jorge De Frutos remains their main threat with six goals so far. He carries a lot of the offensive burden since the team has failed to score in half of their matches. They create plenty of shots but somehow the finishing touch is often missing when it matters.
Disciplined yet aggressive, Rayo wins a lot of corners, averaging over seven per home game. That is currently the third best in the division. It shows they push high up the pitch, but they need to convert that pressure into actual points to move up the table.
For Osasuna, the story away from home is pretty bleak. Averaging 0.2 points per game on the road is actually the worst in the competition. It is hard to see where the inspiration will come from when they have only scored 0.3 goals per away match.
Ante Budimir is the one bright spot with eight goals to his name. Without him, they would be in serious trouble. They suffer from a lack of creativity, evidenced by their league low average of shots on target when they are playing away from home.
This feels like a tight affair where one mistake could decide everything. Will the defensive solidity of Rayo prevail against Budimir? Only time will tell. Keep an eye on our LaLiga Predictions for more insights as we approach what should be a very tactical battle.

Prediction
Under 2.5 Goals @1.60
Selecting under 2.5 goals for this match makes perfect sense when you look at the scoring trends. Rayo Vallecano has been extremely disciplined at home, conceding only 0.67 goals per game. Their defensive line is one of the best in the league at Vallecas. Meanwhile, the home side struggles to finish chances, averaging just 0.78 goals scored, leading to very low scoring outcomes lately.
Osasuna provides even more evidence for a low scoring affair in this Saturday afternoon clash. On their travels, they have been struggling significantly to find the back of the net, averaging only 0.3 goals. Since they also concede 1.3 on average, we expect them to sit back and defend. Everything points toward a cagey game with very few clear cut opportunities for either side.
