Expert Betting Tips

Celta has just one away victory in eight La Liga matches, so with such a statistic one should be wary of betting on the away side. Rayo is also not often favoured at home. We think the Madrid club has a good chance of earning points, although we would not be surprised if the match ends in a draw. Choosing the total, we should consider that the opponents aren't really effective, so we don't expect to watch the TO (2.5) reached.
