Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano prediction and betting tips on May 9-05-2025
Game Prediction
Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano will play in the 35th round of the Spanish Primera on May 9, 2025. Hosting a not particularly motivated mid-table team is a great opportunity for the hosts to take an important victory.
Our prediction for the match Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano
The club from the Canary Islands, after a five-year break, returned to La Liga in 2023. And it was able to get 40 points there, taking 16th place according to additional indicators. The opponent from Madrid had 2 points less, and finished in the next position.
Speaking about the new draw, Las Palmas seems to have fallen victim to the so-called “second season syndrome”. The team, after replacing the coach, improved its performance under the leadership of Diego Martinez Penas, but only until the end of the first lap. In 2025, the club managed to win only in April (in the games against Getafe and Atletico). Still, then it lost with a 0-1 score to Atletico and with a 2-3 result to Valencia. The representatives of the capital started optimistically. Still, they noticeably declined since mid-February. The team won only in the battle against Alaves during these months. One more victory was taken in the meeting of the previous round, in the confrontation with Getafe.
McBurnie and his teammates score relatively a lot – 1.18, but they concede almost one and a half times more – 1.65. The Iñigo Perez’s footballers have got lower results – 1.06/1.24.
