Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Club Prediction (28.02.2026)

After four consecutive losses, Rayo Vallecano showed a better face. They erupted with a 3:0 victory against Atletico Madrid, and in the last round, they took a point from Betis after a 1:1 draw away. Out of 15 home games in all competitions this season, they have only two losses, having held draws at home against Barcelona and Real Madrid, so Rayo can be a very tough opponent, although they are not consistent enough.

Athletic Bilbao started the season with three consecutive victories in August, and now they have done it for the second time this campaign. However, a decline followed then; the question is whether it will be the same now. With these three successes, Athletic is only three points away from the top 6. Another interesting fact is that both teams have scored in 12 of Athletic's last 14 matches in all competitions.

In my opinion, it might be difficult to determine a winner or for there to be none in this match, but I wouldn't be surprised if both teams find the net.
