Rayo Vallecano have scored in every league game this season but leak badly at the other end, and they host an Elche side who have drawn four of their nine in La Liga, with this one kicking off at 1pm (UK time) on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson’s Rayo Vallecano vs Elche predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is backing the hosts’ main man to add to his tally in a game that should bring goals at both ends.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Sergio Camello to score anytime | 13/10 (Ladbrokes) | Camello has been the standout performer in this Rayo side, with seven league goals already. Rayo have found the net in every single league game this season, so the goals are reliable even when the results are not, and Elche have kept only two clean sheets. Against a visiting defence that has conceded 17 times, their main man looks a strong bet to add to his tally. Ladbrokes have the best price at 13/10 for Camello to score anytime. |
| Alvaro Garcia to assist anytime | 19/5 (Ladbrokes) | Garcia has two assists and three goals of his own from the left, underlining his threat in the final third. Rayo have scored seven goals in three completed home games, so he should have openings to supply the forwards. Elche have shipped 17 goals already and will spend long spells defending, so chances are going to come. Ladbrokes go 19/5 on Garcia registering an assist, the biggest price around. |

How Rayo Vallecano go into the game
Rayo sit 14th but have found the net in all eight of their league games, with Sergio Camello in fine form on seven goals. The issue has been at the back, where 17 conceded is among the leakier records in the division.
Back-to-back 1-1 draws at Getafe and Osasuna have steadied them, and home form will be key against a visitor who has gone quiet in front of goal.
How Elche go into the game
Elche arrive 18th with one win, four draws and four defeats from nine, including back-to-back goalless draws against Villarreal and Celta Vigo. Fernando Nino has five of their 11 goals.
Their attack has dried up lately, which is a worry on the road against a Rayo side that always seems to find the net at home.
