Crystal Palace vs. Rayo Vallecano Odds
Game Preview
Palace focused its attention solely on this match, and the EPL season was over for them the moment they secured the Conference League finals. Their most recent event was against Arsenal, which they lost 1-2.
It was the 4th consecutive time this unit failed to win, and the 9th in the previous 10 events with at least 3 goals. To be exact, the only success in the past several weeks Palace had was in this competition, as the EPL wasn’t important to them.

Things are completely the opposite for Rayo, who hasn’t lost in the last 9 matches. The team from Spain had 6 wins and 3 ties and looks very good in all aspects of play.
They are very tough, tactically well-endowed, and their matches aren’t so interesting in terms of goals. Just one in the previous 7 saw over 2.5 hits, and that says pretty much everything about this unit.

Crystal Palace vs. Rayo Vallecano Predictions
Even though Rayo seems tough and formidable, we have to give Palace an advantage in this event. The difference between English teams and others in Europe was evident last Wednesday when Villa rolled over Freiburg in the Europa League final. Also, Rayo has several injured players, and even though they might be better tactically, the Spaniards don’t have the physicality to compete with Palace.
