Valencia's dismissal of Gattuso seems to have had little effect. Since February, Valencia continues to get unsatisfactory results. Of the 8 matches Valencia only managed to win 2 matches. Their game today against Rayo Vallecano is a must have. These 3 points are so important to release Valencia from the relegation zone. And yes, Rayo Vallecano is also not in a good position, last 5 matches results 3 losses and 2 draws. This can be an advantage for Valencia to be able to improve its position in the standings.
If Valencia can take advantage of the situation that is happening with Rayo Vallecano at the moment, then Valencia can beat Rayo Vallecano because after all, from the available odds Valencia is the favorite to win. Because in fact, Rayo Vallecano also did not win in their last 6 matches at this moment and because of that, Valencia should be able to get three points in this match.
But, if I consider the overall record, Valencia still won't be easy to beat Rayo Vallecano. Playing at home doesn't mean it will make it easy for Valencia to win, because so far this season Valencia has been very unfortunate because it's difficult to get good results.
Valencia can obviously get out of the relegation zone if they can somehow capitalize on the one match that they have less played compared to the teams around them right now. It is of course not going to be easy. Valencia vs Rayo Vallecano match has just started. The form of Rayo Vallecano is certainly not better right now compared to Valencia.
Let's see what happens in this match. Personally, I think this is a match which Rayo Vallecano will look at to get three points and improve the confidence that they are lacking right now.
