Get ready for an exciting La Liga clash as Rayo Vallecano welcome Real Betis to the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas on 15 May 2025. The match kicks off at 19:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 18:00 BST in the United Kingdom. Fans can expect a competitive showdown as both sides look to cement their positions in the standings.
This fixture comes in at Matchday 36, with Rayo Vallecano aiming to keep up their strong home form and Real Betis pushing to solidify a European qualification spot. With only a handful of games remaining in the season, every point carries extra weight, making this encounter a must-watch for neutrals and supporters alike.
How are both teams coming into this?
Rayo Vallecano arrive in good spirits after a series of solid performances at the Vallecas ground. Their high-pressing style has given several opponents trouble, and a passionate home crowd will be hoping to spur them on once more. A win here would take them closer to their own continental aspirations.
Real Betis, meanwhile, sit just outside the automatic European places but have the quality to secure their spot among the elite in Spain. Managerial tweaks have tightened up their defence in recent weeks, though they will need to find more cutting edge in attack if they are to leave Madrid’s outskirts with three points.
Our forecast
Expect a tight contest in which neither side gives an inch. With Rayo’s aggressive pressing and Betis’s improved organisation, chances may be at a premium. We foresee a low-scoring affair, possibly decided by a single moment of quality or a set-piece.
Overall, the odds favour a draw, but a narrow win for either side is well within the realms of possibility. Punters might consider looking at both teams to score markets or backing under 2.5 goals for added value.
