Shkendija
Rayo Vallecano meet Shkendija in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage on 2 October 2025, with kick-off at 17:45 GMT in Madrid. Despite the bookmakers making the Spanish side overwhelming favourites, Football Park’s advanced algorithm suggests a far closer contest than the odds imply. Using the same trusted template as our San Lorenzo vs Velez Sarsfield Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips, the data highlights that Shkendija may offer serious betting value in this fixture.
Our model gives Shkendija a 40% chance of victory compared to just 20% for Rayo Vallecano, with the draw equally likely at 40%. This balance suggests punters should be cautious when siding with the heavy odds-on home favourites. With an expected 3.0 match goals and a projected 1-2 correct scoreline, opportunities exist in alternative markets such as double chance and goals.

First Half Trends: A cautious opening is likely, with only a 40% probability of a first-half goal, though late-game scoring could increase volatility.
Scoring Patterns: Rayo average just 1.2 expected goals, while Shkendija carry more threat at 1.8, making the visitors’ attack a pivotal factor.
Half-Time/Full-Time: A Draw/Draw outcome is the most likely combination, aligning with the 60% chance of a half-time stalemate.
This will be the first competitive meeting between Rayo Vallecano and Shkendija, adding unpredictability to the fixture. With no historical form between the sides, algorithm-driven probabilities take on greater importance for bettors.
Rayo Vallecano Win @ 1.18 – Overpriced given the algorithm’s modest 20% win probability.
