Rayo Vallecano vs Cadiz CF -After ten rounds, Rayo Vallecano maintained their position in the top half of La Liga (LL) after Radamel Falcao returned to haunt his old team Atlético Madrid with a late equalizer (1-1). This was the first time since 2014/15 that Vallecano had earned league points from the giants.
Rayo’s challenge is to now establish their dominance over faltering opposition as Cádiz arrive to town having previously lost to Mallorca (0-2) and Almera (1-3) earlier in the season.
Andoni Iraola, the team’s manager, was thrilled with his team’s second-half efforts and praised them for not allowing a two-goal deficit, something they had in three of their previous four LL losses (W3, D3). They still have a tendency to leave their goals a little late, as evidenced by the fact that four of their 11 LL goals—including last week’s dramatic equalizer—were scored after 75 minutes.
Rayo Vallecano vs Cadiz CF – Betting Analysis
Betting Analysis-game LL undefeated streak (W1, D4) is a huge improvement from the 14 straight goals they gave up when they opened the LL season with five losses, even though it hasn’t been enough to keep them out of the relegation zone. Sergio González, the manager of Cádiz, believes his team is “in a very good phase” and “with very positive vibes,” and that all they are now lacking is the ability to seize opportunities; if they do, the results will soon follow.
Sergio may take heart from the fact that Cádiz has now gone back-to-back LL away games without giving up a goal from open play, a feat they haven’t accomplished in league play since April 2022. Sergio wasn’t yet the club’s manager when they lost 1-3 away to Vallecano in the last LL campaign in the middle of a seven-game losing streak.
Players to keep an eye on: Falcao scored in the first half of his sole encounter with Cádiz, a 3-1 home victory. Despite playing nearly 500 minutes of competitive football versus Rayo without scoring, Lex Fernández, Cádiz’s last LL scorer, has gained points in each of his eight outings (W2, D6).
