There is one La Liga match scheduled for Monday night and we take a look at the game between Rayo Vallecano and Celta de Vigo from a betting angle.
LA LIGA UPDATE
There were a couple of big results in La Liga this weekend with Girona reclaiming top spot on the table with a 4-2 victory at Barcelona and Real Betis held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at home.
In sad news, a fan passed away in the stands in the Granada v Athletic Bilbao clash and that game was abandoned and will continue on Monday night.
Real Madrid who sits second on the log tops the betting boards 8/15 to win the La Liga title with Barcelona at 4/1 and Girona now being taken seriously at 6/1, you can get 17/2 Atlético Madrid and 250/1 and better the balance.

RAYO VALLECANO
Rayo Vallecano are currently 11th on the log, but with only 1 win in their last 10 starts, 7 of those 10 matches have ended in draws. They were hammered 4-0 away by Athletic Bilbao last time out and their last home game was a creditable 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Overall at home this season they have played 7 winning just 1 of those 7 games, but drawing 4 and losing 2 and a closer look at Vallecano’s goal stats home shows that 4 of the 7 matches would have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
CELTA DE VIGO
Celta de Vigo are currently in 18th spot, the final relegation position and they have only won 1 of their 15 matches this term and haven’t won in their last 10. They drew 1-1 with Cadiz at home last time out and their last away game was a goalless draw at Valencia. Their only win of the season came on the road and they have taken 5 points from a possible 21 on their travels. 4 of the 7 Celta de Vigo away games have reached the 3 goal mark.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
This fixture finished goalless last season and Celta de Vigo won the reverse fixture 3-0 at home.

Rayo Vallecano 33/20
Draw 9/4
Celta de Vigo 18/10
The last two meetings between these sides hosted by Vallecano have ended in draws and with both of these sides currently out of form I think it is once again a big runner.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 9/4
Other markets of interest to me would be under 2.5 goals at 8/10 with the last two runnings of this particular fixture finishing goalless and if you think we could be heading for 3 in a row then 0-0 draw is available at 8/1 in the Correct Score Market.
If you fancy a more speculative play then how about Rayo Vallecano’s Unai Lopez to be the first goal scorer at 13/1 a feat he achieved against Barcelona in their last home game.
