Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano: La Liga Prediction (10.05.2025)

On May 10, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, a La Liga Round 35 match between Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano will take place. Bookmakers view the teams as fairly evenly matched. Both sides are highly motivated, but they’re chasing very different goals as the season nears its end. Let’s look at their current form and offer a prediction.

Las Palmas

The “Canaries” are having a difficult season and are at risk of relegation from Spain’s top flight. With four rounds remaining, Las Palmas sits in 18th place—the first relegation spot—trailing the safety zone by 3 points. However, they still have a chance to escape the bottom three. Their upcoming fixtures include Sevilla, Leganes, and Espanyol.

Their home form at the Gran Canaria Stadium has been underwhelming. Las Palmas has collected only 17 points from 17 home games—better only than Real Valladolid. Kieran Rodríguez remains out with an injury, while key players Fábio Silva and Scott McKenna are doubtful.

Rayo Vallecano

The “Bees” are also highly motivated, though their goal is quite different—they’re pushing for European competition. With four matches remaining, Rayo is in 8th place, which would qualify them for the Europa Conference League. They’re only two points behind 7th-placed Celta Vigo, which would mean a Europa League spot.

Tension is rising, with four teams breathing down their neck: Mallorca and Osasuna are level on points, while Real Sociedad trails by one point and Valencia by two. A single slip-up could drop Rayo as low as 12th. They still have tough matches coming up against Celta, Betis, and Mallorca.

Stats and Head-to-Head

In the past two seasons, the teams have met three times. Las Palmas leads the head-to-head with two wins and one loss. The first meeting this season ended in a 3-1 away win for the islanders.

Prediction

For Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano, our prediction favors the visitors. The teams are on opposite sides of the table. Despite losing the first leg, Rayo has been more consistent throughout the season. Given their motivation, we recommend betting on Rayo Vallecano to avoid defeat (double chance) at odds of 1.61.
