Real Avila vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Is miracle possible for Real Avila?

Real Avila vs Rayo Vallecano Match Prediction 04 December 2025

Real Avila will host Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Adolfo Suarez in a Copa del Rey match on Thursday, December 4, 2025. It’s another match in the 1/32 finals of the Copa del Rey in which a team from lower leagues will face a team from the best Spanish League - La Liga. The favorite isn’t questionable, but the opportunity for Real Avila to make a big surprise and knock out a professional team like Rayo Vallecano, out of the national cup, is what makes football and this competition different and special compared to others.

Real Avila: Form and Statistics

It's important to note that Real Avila plays in the Segunda Federacion, the same league as Rayo Vallecano's second team, and even then, they've only won once in their last five games. Real Avila needed extra time to beat Primera Federacion side Real Aviles in the previous round of the Copa del Rey. At the same time, Rayo Vallecano opened their campaign with a convincing 6-1 win over CD Yuncos. Captain Vitolo scored after 108 minutes to give Real Avila a 1-0 extra-time victory against Aviles in the first round of the Copa del Rey, but the hosts will need to put in a much better performance if they are to progress. Despite not being in the starting line-up in the last game of the competition, Runy, who has scored twice in his last three Segunda Federacion games for Real Avila, is expected to start this game.

Rayo Vallecano: Form and Statistics

Rayo Vallecano have lost just twice in their last 12 games in all competitions (W6, D4), despite playing against much stronger opposition in the Spanish first division and the UEFA Conference League. Considering that Rayo have kept two clean sheets in their last three home matches, I am confident that the visitors will win without conceding a goal. Rayo will still be without Oscar Trey, Abdul Mumin, Diego Mendez, and Pedro Diaz through injury, while the performances of Randy Nteka and Alfonso Espino are questionable as they both missed Monday night's game against Valencia. Experienced striker Isi Palazon returns to action for this game after his recent suspension for picking up yellow cards against Los Che, while Sergi Camello could be his potential strike partner.

Real Avila vs Rayo Vallecano Match Prediction 04 December 2025

This will be the first ever official match between Real Avila and Rayo Vallecano, of course, it is a much more important encounter for Real Avila than the first league team, Rayo Vallecano. 

Real Avila vs Rayo Vallecano Match Prediction 04 December 2025

This is the phase of the Copa del Rey when small teams from lower leagues try to make a miracle and get on the football map. It is understood that this is not a common case, but it is still not impossible and unthinkable. Real Avila must give more than their maximum to get a positive result in this match and knock out of the competition one of the most recognizable Spanish teams, but I still think that Rayo Vallecano are too strong a team for Real Avila even if they play with a mixed squad.
