Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano Tips
Here are our top three football betting tips and the best free bets ahead of Wednesday evening's clash at the Red Bull Arena.
Tip 1: Crystal Palace to win and both teams to score @ 7/2 (bet365)
It has been a tough season for Crystal Palace fans in the Premier League with a 15th place finish. They won the FA Cup last year which got them into the UEFA Conference League but this year they have struggled.
The one bright light has been the European adventure that Palace have been on and now they have a great chance of winning their first European trophy. They beat Shakhtar Donetsk comfortably 5-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals and have been focusing on these European games for a while now.
Palace must take on a Rayo Vallecano side that had a decent league campaign this season finishing in eighth place. Although they finished eighth, they lost as many games as they won in La Liga.
The Red Sashes have had a good run in the Conference League though winning four games out of six in the group stage. They had a more routine way into the final though with two 1-0 wins against French side Strasbourg.
Expect both teams to go all out for the chance to win their first European trophy but for Palace to just edge it.
Tip 2: Ismaila Sarr to score anytime @ 7/4 (bet365)
Ismaila Sarr has had a good season managing to score nine goals in the Premier League and one assist. He has also scored nine goals already in the UEFA Conference League putting together a standout season.
The Senegalese forward also has a 41% shot to shots on target ratio which shows that when he gets the chances he scores. Expect Sarr to get a few opportunities in this game and get at least one goal.
Tip 3: Jorge De Frutos 1+ shot on target, Oscar Valentin to be shown a card, Ismaila Sarr to score anytime
Jorge De Frutos has had 63 shots with 28 of them hitting the target in La Liga this season. The centre forward has been an ever present for them and he should get an opportunity or two against a Palace defence that you can score against.
Oscar Valentin has committed 36 fouls this season and been fouled 24 times. The competitive midfielder has seen six yellow cards and one red card in La Liga and the Conference League this season.
Finally add Ismaila Sarr to score anytime. With 20 goals in all competitions this season the Senegalese forward is a constant threat and should get some chances to score again.
