Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal Prediction (17.05.2026)

Rayo Vallecano continue to impress with their stable performance at the end of the season. The team has already secured a place in the final of the Conference League, but their ambitions do not stop there, as they continue the battle in La Liga for the best possible ranking and a spot in the top 8. Their form is also a serious argument in their favor, having lost only two of their last 14 league matches.

Villarreal have already secured participation in the Champions League, and at the moment, their main goal seems to be to maintain third place in the standings. However, their recent performances have not been particularly convincing. The team rarely manages to win consecutive matches, and in their last encounters, they lost to Sevilla and drew with Mallorca. Even more unpleasant for them is the trend in away games, where victories come significantly harder.

Rayo Vallecano show consistency and look confident enough, especially when playing at home. Villarreal undoubtedly have class, but their wavering performances away from home suggest a difficult match for them. That is why I believe Rayo Vallecano have every chance to avoid defeat, and my prediction is for a double chance 1X.
