1x2 — Real Betis@ 1.33
EV: -3.0%
Betis are in strong form (WWLWW), with a solid home record (7W 1D 3L), facing a Rayo side with poor away form (3W 1D 8L) and low scoring. Motivation is high for Betis in the European race.
over_under_2_5 — over@ 3.95
EV: 10.0%
Model probability for over 2.5 is 33% vs implied 25%. Betis have 50% over 2.5 at home, and Rayo's defence can collapse away. Value at this price.

Match Analysis
Real Betis enter this fixture with strong momentum, having won 4 of their last 5 La Liga matches and boasting a formidable home record. Their attack is consistent, while their defence has tightened up recently. Rayo Vallecano, despite a shock win over Atletico Madrid last time out, have struggled for both consistency and goals, especially away from home where they have conceded nearly two goals per game. The head-to-head history is tight and often low-scoring, but Betis’ superior form and home advantage make them clear favourites. Expect Betis to control the match, with Rayo likely to be limited to few clear chances.
Key Factors
