Rayo aren’t particularly solid at the back but Los Blancos aren’t playing well in the final third and created very little against poor opposition at Huesca last weekend, winning only 1-0. 86% of Real’s home league games this term have seen under 3.5 goals scored so there’s every chance we will see a repeat here.
