Rayo Vallecano hosts Real Madrid in the 30th round of La Liga and the visitors are with high morale after the 9-1 rout of Granada.
Rayo is in a good and safe position in La Liga … 8th place, no problems with relegation from a long time, but also no shot to get european classification. Hosts are also apparently in great form with 3 successive wins and 4 in the last 5 matches … but when you look at the opponents the record is not so impressive anymore … Granada, Malaga, Eibar and Levante. The offense is working well, the defense is still hurting and a proof of that is the 6-1 defeat to Barcelona 4 rounds ago. Leo Baptistao is the only absentee for Rayo but Raul Baena could also miss out.
Rayo Vallecano lineup: Alvarez – Tito, Ze Castro, Ba, Insua – Baena, Jozabed, Embarba, Kakuta – Manucho, Bueno

Real silenced all critics and proved that the good performance in El Clasico (despite the loss) was a sign of things to come … Real shattered Granada 9-1 over the weekend with 5 goals by Ronaldo and a good match by Bale and will have all the morale they need today. Victory is mandatory because Barcelona has 4 points in front and will probably win today at home vs. Almeria. Pepe and Arbeola are out of the lineup for Real. Bale is doubtful, but James Rodriguez comes back and could start in his place if necessary … so not a huge handicap.
Real Madrid lineup: Casillas – Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo – Kroos, Modric, Isco – Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema
Real proved many times that they are a team of morale and of runs. After the 9-1 win with Granada, normally they back up that kind of win with another and a string of good performances. Rayo’s current form is misleading … they only defeated weak teams + Malaga at home and their real test vs. Barcelona was failed miserably … my tip will be Real Madrid to win and cover a 1,5 goal handicap. Correct score prediction: Rayo Vallecano – Real Madrid 0-3.
