Home specialists at it again ?
Rayo Vallecano have made a blissful start to the 2021/2022 LaLiga season as the newly-promoted outfit currently sits in 5th place after 11 games with 19 points amassed so far. Italo's troops have played five games at the Vallecas and their fans have seen them win all five, most recently against FC Barcelona last week. The Rayo Vallecano had a couple of heroes to thank on Wednesday, first being Ramadel Falcao who netted the only goal of the game on the half-hour and second being Stole Dimitrievski who kept out Memphis' spot-kick to preserve his team's 100% record. Confidence must be going through the roof in the Rayo camp and with another home game on the horizon, they could be in the top four as they travel to the Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid next weekend.
Celta Vigo have had a completely different set of games- compared with their opponents- in the Spanish top-flight this season. It's just the three wins for Coudet's troops who travel to the Vallecas in 14th position on the standings. However, it is to be noted that two of the three wins have come away from home which suggests that they would certainly put the hosts to the test this coming Monday. Last time out, they were downed by Real Sociedad who left the Abanca Balaidos with all three points courtesy of a 2-0 victory. Would we see a response from Celta Vigo in Madrid ?

Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo Prediction: 2-1
Celta Vigo, with the attacking duo of Aspas and Santi Mina, would certainly cause problems for a lot of defences in the Spanish top-flight. We don't expect this to be enough for the win against the hosts who can do no wrong at the moment.
