Europa Conference League Betting Preview: Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano

Premier League club Crystal Palace face Spanish La Liga outfit Rayo Vallecano in this Europa Conference League match at Red Bull Arena, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 27 May.

Rayo to Keep Things Tight Against Eagles

Rayo look like a great wager on the Asian Handicap against Crystal Palace. You can back them at +0.5 at -109 which means a payout if they draw or win, with one of these outcomes on the cards.

Palace Looking to Avoid Another Defeat

Crystal Palace lost when last in action. In a home game at Selhurst Park, they were turned over 2-1 by Arsenal in the Premier League. The South London club recorded just 39% possession and had three shots on target, with Jean-Philippe Mateta bagging the goal.

Rayo Vallecano triumphed in their previous game. It was away from home in La Liga where Deportivo Alavés were beaten 2-1 at Estadio Mendizorroza. Inigo Perez's team were 52% in the possession stakes and managed seven shots on goal, with Sergio Camello and Randy Nteka both on target.

In the last round of the Europa Conference League, Palace were at home to Shakhtar Donetsk and won 2-1, while Rayo visited Strasbourg and landed a 1-0 victory.

Bookies Make Palace Most Likely Winners

Crystal Palace are the skinniest price to succeed in this Europa Conference League clash, with the favourites afforded a 53% probability based on their -112 betting odds with the bookies. Rayo Vallecano are seen as the most unlikely winner at +320.

Palace can be backed alternatively on the Half-Time Result market and that means getting +143. However, Rayo are +340 and the draw is +104 if you want to take a different option.

Under 2.5 Goals is currently the betting favourite and a bet on this option would mean you need no more than two goals to be scored. When it comes to BTTS betting, the market suggests that Both Teams to Score Yes and No are both equally as likely to happen.

If you head to our recommended betting sites, then you can’t go wrong with the hundreds of markets available for each Europa Conference League match. Go through the options and choose your football bet.
