Real Madrid welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for matchday 36 of the Spanish La Liga.
Affected by the defeat by City and elimination from the Champions League final Real Madrid were beaten 1-0 by the local team in Valencia. In the first half she was poor and rightly found herself behind in the score. In the second half, she increased her performance and missed opportunities to score, but missed the final attempt.
The result, however, took second place as the event that marked the match was the expulsion of Vinicius for violent action towards the opponent. However, the Brazilian star claimed he had been racially attacked by two Valencia players, while earlier the match was stopped for 10 minutes with Vinicius pointing at fans who were swearing at him in the stands.
It is indeed characteristic that the federation took back the red card and the Brazilian striker can compete normally tonight.
With this defeat Real, combined with Atletico's victory, dropped to 3th place in the standings with 71 points against 72 of her compatriot.
Rayo Vallecano failed to return to winning ways, last Sunday at noon they were defeated at home by Espanyol 2-1.
He found himself chasing the score in the 23rd minute but managed to equalize just before half time. In the second half of the match, he again fell behind in the score without being able to find an answer again and unfortunately did not get anything from the match.
This defeat limited Rayo's hopes of securing a European ticket. remained on 46 points and in 11th place in La Liga, 4 less than 7th place.
An essentially indifferent match which can give us a rich spectacle and many goals. Real coming from 2 consecutive defeats to return to winning ways in front of their home crowd, Rayo will now only miraculously catch up to 7th place while their style of play can help in the direction for an open encounter with many phases. And where there are phases and goals, it's worth betting on Benzema finding the net as he hasn't scored in the last 5 matches!
Tip: Real Madrid – Rayo Vallecano 1 & Over 2,5 goals & Benzema to score odds 2.40
