Spanish La Liga Rayo Vallecano vs. Valencia odds, line, predictions: Best bets and picks for Monday's match from soccer insider
Rayo Vallecano will try to finally break through for another victory on Monday when it hosts Valencia in a Spanish La Liga matchup in Madrid. The capital outfit has not won a league game since mid-December, while Valencia comes in on a five-game unbeaten run in La Liga play.

Valencia (10-11-9) is ninth in the table and has won three of the five during its unbeaten run. It will face Betis in the Copa del Rey final in two weeks.
Kickoff at Estadio de Vallecas is set for 3 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists Vallecano as the +118 favorite (risk $100 to win $118) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Vallecano vs. Valencia odds, with Valencia the +255 underdog. A draw is priced at +220 and the over-under for total goals scored is 2.5.
Before you lock in any Valencia vs. Rayo Vallecano picks or La Liga predictions, you HAVE TO see what SportsLine soccer insider Brandt Sutton has to say.
Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. Sutton also has been on a roll with his best bets, going 10-4 in his last 14 soccer picks, returning almost $400 for $100 bettors during that span.
The expert knows Valencia has been rolling recently and faces a Vallecano team that has struggled on its home turf. Los Che has allowed just one goal in its past six in all competitions, including a clean sheet against Athletic Bilbao in a 1-0 Copa del Rey semifinal victory last month. A Goncalo Guedes strike sealed that victory, and he has a team-high 11 goals and five assists in league play. Carlos Soler also has set up five goals while scoring nine as Valencia has tallied 42 goals this season, 11 more than Vallecano.
Sutton also is aware that Vallecano will put up a fight to remain in La Liga for a second straight year. The Valencia back line has been stout recently, but Los Franjirrojos have still allowed seven fewer goals this season in league play. They have draws with second-place Sevilla and Granada over the past three games. The match with Granada ended 2-2 despite Vallecano playing a man down for most of the second half. Alvaro Garcia shares the team lead with five goals, and Sergi Guardiola scored his fourth last Sunday.
