Key Prediction Insights

Vallecano are the likeliest winners at 46%, with the draw and an Elche win both at 27%. The goals forecast leans over 2.5, at 57%.

Match Analysis

Home advantage is the clearest reason to favour Vallecano, with their chance creation and defensive numbers also leaning their way. At home, they average 1.2 expected goals created and 1.3 conceded, while Elche have allowed 1.9 expected goals per away match. That gap could give Vallecano more opportunities, though their recent home scoring has not always matched their chance creation. Vallecano have drawn their latest two, 1-1 away at Getafe after a 1-1 away draw with Osasuna, and they have not kept a clean sheet in their last five. Elche arrive after a 0-0 away at Villarreal, following a 0-0 home draw with Celta. Their attack and recent results offer some counterweight to the home case, while two clean sheets in their last five show they can make life difficult.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

Over 2.5 is the slight lean at 57%. Elche’s defensive record is the strongest push towards goals, and Vallecano’s attack and chance creation also support that outcome. Elche’s consecutive scoreless draws pull the other way, but the forecast points to a match with chances at both ends.

Corners Prediction

Corners Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each corner count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of corners ≤ X
The expected total is 10.1 corners. Recent matches have produced some high counts, including 16 in Vallecano’s game at Getafe and 15 in Elche’s visit to Villarreal, though those figures are match totals rather than team totals.

Shots Prediction

Shots Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each shot count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of shots ≤ X
The expected total is 28 shots. Vallecano had 21 shots at Getafe, and the Villarreal-Elche match featured 27 shots in total, suggesting room for a busy game.

Goal Spread Prediction

Goal Spread Probability Distribution

Positive = Rayo Vallecano wins by X goals. Negative = Elche wins by X goals.

The expected margin is about half a goal in Vallecano’s favour. That fits their higher win probability, but the 46% forecast still leaves substantial room for a draw or an Elche win.

Final Prediction

Elche’s ability to turn their away attack into goals could change the picture. Vallecano have not kept a clean sheet in five matches, so the hosts’ defensive vulnerability gives the visitors a route to upset the forecast.
