Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction (21.02.2026)

Betis is in fifth place and has three consecutive victories in La Liga. They have also won five of their last six home matches in all competitions. Yes, they suffered a heavy loss to Atletico in one of those matches, but then they defeated them as guests. Overall, the team quickly recovers in cases where they have had fluctuations and some weak matches, and they are now only four points away from the Champions League zone.

Rayo Vallecano lost four consecutive matches and found themselves in the relegation zone. However, in the last round, they exploded and pulled themselves out of it, defeating Atletico Madrid 3-0, and they did not play at their own stadium, but at a neutral one in Leganes. As guests in La Liga, they haven't won since October and lost their last four visits, but in the last one, they troubled Real Madrid quite a bit and, with 9 players remaining, lost 1-2 after a penalty in added time.

Rayo Vallecano hasn't had two strong matches in a row for a while. Betis is a tough opponent, and I think they can achieve victory in the end, even if it doesn't come easily.
