Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Bilbao prediction 25.05.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Saturday, 25th May 2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UTC +1 / 18:30 CEST
• Venue: Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)

The final La Liga round of this season will be played at the weekend, and everything is decided. Rayo Vallecano had some problems this season, but one game before the end, they have a comfortable five-point lead ahead of the relegation zone teams, so Inigo Perez's team can finally relax. Rayo Vallecano have had some problems with their form lately, as they won only one of the last five matches. In the previous round, Rayo Vallecano lost 3-0 on the road against Barcelona. 

Athletic Bilbao is on track for their best league finish since the 2015/16 season, currently positioned to secure 5th place. However, their performance has been lackluster since their Copa del Rey triumph in April, as Ernesto Valverde's side has only managed to win two out of their last seven matches. In their most recent game, a 2-0 victory at home against Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao demonstrated flashes of their quality, particularly dominating the first half to secure another important win. 

Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Bilbao pick: Both teams to score - yes

Rayo Vallecano are not a high-scoring team, but they still scored at least one goal in six of the last eight home matches. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao scored at least one goal in each of the previous eight games. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.
