Villareal vs Rayo Vallecano prediction
Most of the best football betting sites predict a win for Villareal. However, Sportslens feels Villareal will find a win hard to come by. They have only won 3 of their 15 La Liga games this season. So, winning is not something that will come easy to them. For this reason, Sportslens will settle for a draw as Villareal are indeed too good to continue struggling.
Prediction: A draw
