Wednesday's La Liga predictions including Villarreal vs. Rayo Vallecano

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's La Liga fixtures, including Villarreal vs. Rayo Vallecano.

Looking to return to winning ways following a streak of poor results, Villarreal will welcome Rayo Vallecano to Estadio de la Ceramica on Wednesday night for a La Liga clash.

The Yellow Submarine suffered a home defeat at the hands of Real Betis last time out, whilst Los Franjirrojos managed a draw against European champions Real Madrid.

We say: Villarreal 1-2 Rayo Vallecano


With a number of key suspensions, we are expecting Villarreal to struggle on home soil as their winless streak threatens to extend into worrying territory.

Rayo Vallecano will be buoyed after snatching a point off the champions on the weekend, so we are envisioning an away success for Los Franjirrojos.

Espanyol vs. Valencia (Wednesday, 8.30pm)

In a vital six-pointer at the bottom of the table, 18th-placed Espanyol will welcome 20th and last-placed Valencia to RCDE Stadium on Wednesday in their 17th La Liga match of 2024-25.

The home team have 14 points and their 0-0 draw with Osasuna on December 14 left them two points from 17th-placed Deportivo Alaves – who occupy the league's final safety spot – while the visitors lost 1-0 against Real Valladolid on December 13 and have just 10 points after 15 matchweeks.

We say: Espanyol 2-1 Valencia


Wednesday's clash will almost certainly be a close contest, with neither side wanting to lose ground on Deportivo Alaves.

However, Espanyol have proven that they are more than capable of picking up positive results at home, while Valencia rarely do well on their travels.
