Rayo Vallecano is expected to win this match, which would guarantee them direct participation in the round of 16. They did not win their visits to Häcken and Slovan, but they did win their last match against Jagiellonia. At home, they came back against Lech Poznań for a 3:2 victory from 0:2, and in their other home match, they defeated Shkendija 2:0. However, on Monday, they had a league match where they drew 0:0 with Betis, marking their third consecutive draw at home in La Liga.
Drita dreams of qualifying for at least the round of 32, which could happen if they earn at least a point from this match. They could also qualify with a loss, but they would need to rely on the slip-ups of their competitors, which complicates things. Surprisingly, they did not lose in their first four group matches, all of which had under 2.5 goals. However, in the last match, they were brought down and lost 0:3 at home to AZ Alkmaar.
Prediction: victory for Rayo with a clean sheet and under 3.5 goalsRayo Vallecano should not miss the opportunity to qualify directly for the round of 16. For Drita, reaching the round of 32 would be a significant achievement. However, the team was brought down in their match against a stronger opponent like AZ Alkmaar, and I expect something similar to happen again now.
